I am so happy to have read Mia Mottley pushing for minimum wage. I mentioned in an earlier posting that I feel such a move would be helpful to those at the bottom of the ladder. By doing this, it will actually stop many from being underpaid for a hard days work. Others holding degrees or other accreditation gives them a much better opportunity to receive higher pay.
This is needed like yesterday to make life much better for the little man. But in doing so you will have to make sure that the cost of living is taken into consideration to make it work. If you want to improve and to follow the policies of other countries this is one area that needs to be adopted for sure.
My hat off to Mia also for showing a different campaign approach. This is showing growth. Kill the name calling, finger pointing and all the other dumb behaviour which has nothing to do with the issues at hand. Respect each other at all times. It seems so childish that an adult would stand on a platform and disrespect another human-being. I hope and pray that this will be the start of better things to come in Barbados politics.
I admire Mara Thompsons’ approach to stepping up as a candidate for St. John and seeing how young and old are rallying behind her. I just have this deep feeling that Mrs Mara Thompson is the best person for the job judging from her followers. We all need a chance to prove that we are worthy to hold any position in life. Mrs Mara Thompson, winning on January 20th 2011, will be the best birthday gift I could receive. I know that you are going to WIN, GO MARA.
GOD Bless Barbadians at home and abroad.
