You have the wrong island. We are talking about St. Thomas:confused:

 

My bad - OOPS :o

Hard for me to have much sympathy with the "sick out" employees. I am retired military and a government worker. I have not had a COLA or annual pay raise increase in 2 years. If I don’t show up for work without a really good reason I would be fired and replaced. What makes them any different. US citizens getting Social Security have also not had a COLA in two years. Our deadbeat politicians are making sure that they get their yearly pay raises and screw everyone else. From what I have been reading this little problem is nothing compared to the other out of control crime problems that ST. Thomas is currently unable to deal with.

I thought I'd read it was all resolved...was that incorrect? We are there next week.

 

 

Let just say that the people voice was heard:rolleyes:

I cannot attest to the employees in St. Thomas, but of the employees in the US that are union that have sick outs have not had raises in 8-9 years - and yes, we can be fired. However, when you have 80% of work force participating, you can't fire all of them and still expect the company to run.

Now that is a cruiser with a big heart. Awww, wish others would think of locals, too. lol
