Comment: I find this so silly. In the U.S. if someone gets laid off,do you think the boss tells them in advance they will not be there tomorrow? Also about the police excort being there, that is how things are done..Security guards are there when you are told you are no longer needed.They excort you off the premises. This was not only done in SK. it is how it is done so there will be no violence. The economy is messed up in the U.S no one can afford to take vacations at the Marriot.Everyone is downsizing

Comment: What do you expect from a pack of vagabuns who feel that the people of St. Kitts are stupid and will always suck up their lies like its the gospel

Comment: Most of US in SKB still talking about what Bradshaw/Simmonds...WHY? Let's talk about what present leadership do. The PM keeps liar to us openly. Nobody says he could of stop the lay offs but I am sure he is lairing when he says he didnt kno about them. Lets say he didnt know, that means his administration has problem as the Labor Dept should have known but didnt pass on the information. Mr. PM ain say anything yet about the Labor Dept not knowing about it! Plz look at what the PM really doing us

Comment: It's all coming to the fore now - Labor's inept, incompetent way of governance...if no one argued, we would not be hearing a thing of all these letters and dates and 10-100 people being laid off. None of this would be aired - but you seee when people speak out and up all manner of things are revealed. I am no fan of the Labor gov't, but if they did things correctly and with transparency and accoutability then I would have to give them that - BUT THEY DON'T!

Comment: How come they only lay off majority of locals. What happen to those who came in to work as managers they are not needed when they reducing the staff. Imagine they have a Guest Services Manager who knows nothing about the Island/Hotel nothing and they kept her. This is nonsense

Comment: Some of you are so sad. SK People need to stop support Labour just b/c their family vote labour and PAM b/c thier family does vote PAM. Most ppl still have these stupid excuse like "Bradshaw give me mother land or Simmonds did give my mother land" to determine who u vote for. WAKE UP!! Bradshaw gone and Simmonds gone. New Leadership is there. I'm sure many of you like Obama especially when he says dont blame him for what happen when he wasnt born or jus a child. To be continued....

Comment: So you mean to tell me since the beginning of march this labour gov't was informed by the marriott that they were looking at downsizing their staff by at least 10% and this gov't did not see it fit to inform the employees of this possibility? Also didn't the Prime Minister assure us publicly that he had discussions with the marrtiott and that their will be no layoffs or terminations but rather a reduction in the amount of work days per week? I find this gov't often lies and misleads us.

Comment: To American Viewer, How is the PM letting a foreign company rule the country? He have no control over who the Marriott layoffs and you as an american should know that because how many time here in the USA people go to work and find the doors lock and no one is giving them no answers (they didnt even get a pay check) Im not saying that the PM is acting or showing leadership skills but why blame him for what the marriott did Because i know that people here is blameing OBOMA for the layoffs here

Comment: Highly annoyed sounds so foolish and playing that he/she donot understand.The laying off is not the problem but how it was done.The principle is what we are talking about here.The PM has been soo dishonest that how can we believe that he did not know.He has a reputation for lying and misleading the public-a tactic which he continues to use.The labour dept?please!they got the letter 1 day before the layoffs.It can happen again.Stop trying to fool the public.We above dat now.Stop it man.Com strait
