The Democratic Party of Sint Maarten has recommended that 2 letters, which were copied to the Island Council, be sent to the Central Committee of the Island Council for further deliberations. One letter dated November 5, 2009 was sent by the workers of the SVB and the BZV on St. Maarten to the Executive Council regarding their position as employees of these institutions. The other letter dated October 21, 2009 came from the Windward Islands Health Care Union and regards the situation at the St. Maarten Medical Center.
The Executive Council in forwarding these letters to the Island Council, suggested that these be taken for notice only, however it is the position of the Democratic Party that those sending these letters and copying them to the Island Council expect of the Island Council that follow-up be given. Follow-up to these matters can be given in a central committee of the island council and if necessary parties involved can be invited to a meeting of the Central Committee to elaborate their positions and concerns further. Both issues, in the opinion of the Democratic Party deserve the attention of the island council members as representatives of the people of Sint Maarten.
The Democratic Party expects the Executive Council to promptly forward these matters to the Central Committee of the Island Council as both matters have been put forward to the island council some time ago.
