Labor Policy Ratified By EXCO

Philipsburg:----- The island government has ratified the revised employment permit policy 2008. The policy consists of plans which would address the issues surrounding employment permits.

The island government plans to have the policy translated in three languages namely, English, Spanish and French which will serve to assist the general public when applying for a labor permit.
Leader of Government Sarah Wescot Williams said the draft has been sent to the island council where she suggested that it be discussed in a meeting of the central committee.

The policy was made possible after a tripartite committee was installed to look at labor policy and other related labor matters. The island leader who is now handling labor affairs said she would be sending out a press release with more details on the policy in the very near future. Wescot Williams said she also plans to discuss this new policy with the media at a later date.
