SBRMC refused to give Workers Copies of Labour Contract --- Laveist.

Philipsburg:--- Member of Parliament and former Commissioner of Labour Louis Laveist has issued a call to the government of St. Maarten to stop betraying the people of the island. Laviest said the people are being betrayed to the core when government allows a company to trample on the basic rights of the people. Laveist told reporters on Tuesday that the Simpson Bay Resort Management Company that is managed by one of his colleagues in Parliament Jules James has become so confident that he is now refusing to give the workers of SBRMC a copy of their labour contract. Laveist further explained that the SBRMC is in violation of the labour laws by refusing the workers a copy of their contract. Two weeks ago, the SBRMC decided to rehire some of the workers that are represented by the Workers Institute for Organized Labour. Several workers took the opportunity to reapply for their jobs.
Laveist said that he believes that the leader of the United Peoples Party Theodore Heyliger is giving James full support in trampling on the constitutional rights of the workers. "From what I have been taught, silence gives consent and so far the UP leader has not spoken out against James and his actions." Laveist said the actions of the SBRMC management can considered as a slap in the face when they denied the workers a copy of their labour contract. "The action of SBRMC in my opinion is union busting and I therefore want to call on the unions to guard against the company successfully when they try to accomplish their goal." Laveist said that he does not want to see any form of labour unrest on St. Maarten but if the actions of SBRMC continues then labour unrest would be unavoidable he further stated that he hopes the union is paying close attention. Furthermore, the former Labour Commissioner said he believes that the unions on St. Maarten should join forces to fight against the injustice of the workers of SBRMC. "I am calling on the people to pay close attention to the constant violation of their rights and the constitution. In every other country government respects its people and I never thought that I would see the day when my government would put the rights and interests of the foreign investors ahead of the rights and interests of their own people. In my opinion, this is the greatest betrayal of the people by the United Peoples Party."
