Mark J. Golding - Leader of The Opposition Meets with Security Guards

Описание: I along with Opposition Spokesperson on Labour and Social Security, MP Angela Brown Burke met with Vincent Morrison President of the Union of Clerical, Administrative and Supervisory Employees (UCASE), Leonard Green, Attorney-at-Law and other members of the task force formed by security guards to discuss the current employment issues being faced.

This ties back to the situation where the Supreme Court has ruled that the security guards are in fact employees and gave the security companies until April 1 to rectify this. The security companies response has been to have the guards sign contracts that would have them give up all their accrued rights from the past (i.e. vacation, overtime). Naturally the guards are very reluctant to do this as that would be very unfair.

The guards are prepared to be reasonable however, they are not willing to relinquish their rights. The government has once again, in a dereliction of duty washed their hands of the situation telling the guards to go to court .

We need a #NewDirection and approach to such situations. One that ensures open conversation and consultation with all parties.

I am calling on the Prime Minister to intervene in this situation and bring the parties to the table for negotiation. #TimeCome

About Mark J. Golding:

I am a proud Jamaican, a son of the soil and a dedicated member of the People’s National Party. My parents were champions in giving back to Jamaica especially in the disabilities community and I continue the family legacy through my own advocacy for disenfranchised persons and persons with disabilities. I am committed to using the law to protect rather than oppress people, as evidenced by my legislative performance. I have a record of strong leadership in my constituency and I am proud to serve as Leader of The Opposition and President of the People’s National Party.

Our common purpose must be the creation of a 21st century Jamaica that exemplifies and upholds the progressive principles of social justice and equality for all Jamaicans. This is the foundational purpose of the Party and its socialist roots. There is much more work to be done to eliminate the remaining structural inequalities within Jamaican society. To achieve this, we must live and promote the values of self-discipline, civic responsibility, and caring for and respecting others.
