Philipsburg: --- Leader of Government Sarah Wescot Williams has confirmed that the new labour policy introduced late last year went into effect yesterday. The revised policy will be monitored for the next six months by members of the tripartite committee who would then seek to amend the policies if needed.The CBA has been holding several meetings with the aim of sending to the executive council a petition requesting them to postpone the implementation.
Founder and president of the CBA Elco Rosario said there are articles in the new policy that are in contradiction of the island laws. He said anyone who decides to take the island government to court would win the case based on the errors made in the policy.
