John Boyce, Minister of Health
John Boyce, Minister of Health

I am writing about the upsetting fact about an issue that occurs at the geriatric hospital which involves the salary of staff. I know for years it has been going on but in this day and age sometimes within a year we are paid only twice. I have known persons who had to resign because a whole year they were not paid. Management will say they have sent down your paperwork but when it arrives at Personnel Administration it disappears. Then Ministry of Health says they have no paperwork there for you even after it leaves personnel dept.

Someone has to be held accountable, we have bills to pay, kids to feed and groceries to buy. We are already short-staffed and sometimes have to work overtime for a free day which is seldom given to us. The authorities need to address this issue. Then when we do get pay, we only get one month’s salary and not the 6 months we were waiting for. Then on top of it all, management has a building that they renovated and the staff have nowhere to eat lunch, especially when it rains we have to eat standing or in the veranda.

I understand there was retrenchment but to send 80 percent of the porters home and only 6 porters left to lift heavy patients in bed is not good enough. Sometimes for the day there are none and nurses have to lift them in bed. When the few that are working go on sick leave from being burned out, overworked and drained who will take care of our elderly ? We have spoken to our respective unions and to management but enough is enough.

    Now this has to be a joke of some kind? How can anyone in the 21st century work as a SLAVE? Because this is exactly what’s going on.
    Needless to say all the talk about so called black folks looking out for each other. Well this is the biggest laugh of all time. And by the way,I am a so called black man also. How can you expect this so called white man to treat you any differently when our own are taking advantage of us constantly?
    This Government SUCKS even as human-beings. I take my hat off to those who has stayed around even though they are being mistreated, unpaid, and taken advantage of, to help the folks in the facility who needs their help.
    At the rate that all of you are STILL being so accepting with the BULL SHIT the Government is handing out is truthfully amazing.
    This is a word to the wise The Government:- “You are going to push the people once too many times, and the end results is going to be more than you can really deal with;” These people are all a part of who has made it possible that you have the positions which you are now holding, and you are treating them this way is truly in-human. Even animals are being treated better? How can you sit and eat your lunch in comfort, but make the workers don’t have proper accommodation for them to eat who are doing all the hard work?
    You are sending a message to the world that’s not good at all. Get yourselves together, and make it possible for all to have a better quality of life in Barbados. They aren’t asking you for a hand out, only the salaries which they are entitled to.

    This has been going on for the past 20 years I have worked as a health worker, & I would not dismiss this ac as madness. A lot of these people do this work for the love of it, but they need their pay to get the necessary things for living. We have always had problems with getting time for meals, when there are only 2 of you on a ward, & one is a junior how can you leave that person to look after the sick? Wake up Barbados it is only the politicians who have their meals served to them on a daily basis, don’t you see how fat & big they are getting? while all else are going to hell,( and I don’t mean after life hell). I have a lot of sympathy for my colleges.

    The Minister responsible for the Public Service must sign off on all temporary appointments, and you know that person takes his time. That is the situation now which is coupled with the fact that they mostly assign persons for three months at a time and the paperwork has to be done all over again. Fortunately, the law only allows the PSC to do so for a maximum of one year. Unfortunately, no one not even the PSC follows the law.

    I know it may not help those wanting and is clearly not helping pay bills, but with all the government cut backs the government may only have a limited budget each month to pay wages and operating expenses, to reduce expenditures.
    Perhaps, the end result of any available facts from the relevant Government department for salaries will be ” it is a problem” but not a crisis. Good luck with your calls.

    From my point of view then, is how do or did these ” Government ” people live? There contracted to work for money, not status thats the only thing that pays bills.

    Truth be told, It seems that for more than three decades Barbados has been going backwards. It’s far more difficult in this country today for a child from a poor family to become a middle-class or wealthy adult. Or even for a middle-class child to become wealthy. The major reason for me is widening inequality. The longer the ladder, the harder the climb. Barbados is now more unequal that it’s been for many years, with the most obviously unequal distribution of income and wealth. Equal opportunity has become a pipe dream for the younger generation and defiantly something Barbados should seek to accomplish together as a society. It neglects the organization of it’s economy, and therefore it’s social consequences. It minimises the potential role of democracy in determining the rules of the game, as well as the corruption of democracy by big money. It overlooks the strivings for social justice.
    Sorry David, but all you hear every day, on this site is the comparison of Barbados with the rest of the world. Why not the Parishes of Barbados, and what all of the Mp’s are doing to help. Seems all about personal vanity, not reputation.

    I have read all that have been said in regards to this situation on NON-PAYMENT to people who work faithfully in their jobs. In comparison to those who are getting big salaries for doing very little, and living LARGE AND IN-CHARGE.
    How-many of the politicians are being paid on time?
    How many of them has been laid off due to the current recession?
    If Barbados is so modernized, then why aren’t these things computerized to make it easier that NO PAPERS WILL GET LOST?
    If you continue to make excuses for the wrongs that are being done to the poor man, the Government isn’t going to change SHIT for them.
    Dam all the marches. Take your problems right into the place where they all meet to decide to fate of the people. It’s your right to be heard. A couple of people aren’t going to make any real difference. But in NUMBERS someone will get the message that you’re not taking anymore of the SHIT they are handing out to you.
    You can drive the latest cars, build modern looking buildings. Yet don’t have to correct system in place to make sure that people’s weekly records are being taken care of without any PAPER work to be done.
    This don’t even make any sense to me at all.
    Yes I AM TRULY PISSED,to read something like this happening to the people in Barbados while the folks who are being paid to make things better for them, are only making things better for themselves.

    I recall the PM Stuart speaking against this practice some years ago and saying that these workers should be paid like everybody else including those who paid them.

    For this to be ongoing is blatant disobedience to the highest office.

    And, this is being done by people with hard-hearts, conscience-seared people. The management does not even for supplemental payments for these staff that care for the elderly.

    You seem to be knowledgeable on various topics, so I assume you are an individual who likes to read.
    There was an article written by ROBERT B. REICH, [Chancellor’s Professor of Public Policy at the University of California at Berkeley and Senior Fellow at the Blum Center for Developing Economies], entitled “What Will It Take for Us to Get Back to Being a Decent Society?”; posted on-line….. Thursday December 19, 2013 on AlterNet website re RobertReich.org

    The following are two excerpts from Reich’s article:

    “But for more than three decades we’ve been going backwards. It’s far more difficult today for a child from a poor family to become a middle-class or wealthy adult. Or even for a middle-class child to become wealthy.
    The major reason is widening inequality. The longer the ladder, the harder the climb. America is now more unequal that it’s been for eighty or more years, with the most unequal distribution of income and wealth of all developed nations. Equal opportunity has become a pipe dream.”

    “But that leaves out what we could and should seek to accomplish together as a society. It neglects the organization of our economy, and its social consequences. It minimizes the potential role of democracy in determining the rules of the game, as well as the corruption of democracy by big money. It overlooks our strivings for social justice.”

    It’s a life changing fact, but despite a little tweaking here and there, it sure does sound familiar.

    Reverse psychology works best with people who are contrary or resistant. In contrast ” the agreeable people ” those of a plesent nature, are likely to go along with you anyway so you don’t need to use it.
    So observing Davids 8 years of “World Press blog statements” – Watch out, people hate being manipulated. If they sense you are trying to get them to do something by telling them to do the opposite, a form of reverse reverse psychology may operate..
    Reverse psychology is a tricky customer both in real life and in the psych lab. Researchers have found it difficult to pin down exactly when reverse psychology works and when it doesn’t.
    Further @ David – Changing subjects, and ignoring questions ” what are you actually doing or going to do,to help these captioned matters” should be more revealing to your qualifications and destination. Not lighting the fuse, so to speak, then walking away.

    “I have known persons who had to resign because a whole year they were not paid.” – taken from the above lead article.

    Did such persons work in government 12 months 52 weeks straight without receiving their transfers?

    The writer gives the impression that this is so!!

    Anyhow, the problems related to many government workers receiving delayed transfers, for up to 2, 3, 4, 6 months, and then having eventually got their transfers, having thereafter to go through such repeatedly are well documented.

    We are often told by many government temporary workers that they have to wait for such varying periods before they get their transfers, and then for other varying periods before they get the next transfers.

    Such circumstances of these workers having to wait so repeatedly and inordinately long for their remunerations are absolutely outlandish and illustrate the serious and wider breakdown in government in this country.

Hatred, malice, rudeness, intolerance, and suspicion are the faults of weakness. The resentment of the weak does not spring from any injustice done to them but from their sense of inadequacy and impotence. We cannot win the weak by sharing our wealth with them.

    Some recorded statements, one is made by the BU apparently.

    “Please don’t rush to answer.”

    The surest way to corrupt a youth is to instruct him to hold in higher esteem those who think alike than those who think differently.

    October 13th 2013
    Quoted by “THE BU”
    Is the government levelling with Barbadians? Are we able to remove the partisan blinkers to have sight of the priority issues? Are we confident that the current suite of economic solutions on offer is appropriate? Un quote.

    IMF Concludes Staff Visit to Barbados
    “Press Release No.14/265
    June 6, 2014”
    A team from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) led by Ms. Nicole Laframboise visited Barbados during June 2-6, 2014 to review recent economic developments and discuss the main policy priorities. Staff met with Minister of Finance Christopher Sinckler, Governor of the Central Bank of Barbados DeLisle Worrell, other government officials, and representatives from labour and the private sector. Ms Laframboise issued the following statement at the end of the visit today:
    “The Barbadian economy continues to face major challenges, including low growth, a very large fiscal deficit and a high debt burden. Real GDP is expected to decline by 0.6 percent this year, as slightly stronger tourism activity is offset by the impact of the government’s deficit reduction efforts. Inflation is expected to remain subdued and private sector credit growth weak. The unemployment rate rose to 13.2 percent in the fourth quarter of 2013.
    “The decline in international reserves through most of 2013 was arrested in the first quarter with external borrowing in the December 2013–March 2014 period, and reserves have remained at about US$570 million (3.3 months worth of imports) since.
    “Discussions focused on recent developments, progress with announced fiscal measures, and the near-term outlook. The central government deficit in the fiscal year 2013/14 is estimated at 12 percent of GDP, higher than projected owing mostly to unbudgeted transfers to public enterprises, including to reduce arrears. Central government gross debt, excluding securities held by the National Insurance Scheme, rose to 96 percent of GDP at March 2014.
    “The need for fiscal consolidation is urgent. The authorities agree and have implemented most of their announced budget measures. Follow up is essential to ensure that these measures produce material results in the near term to lower the government’s financing needs. Slippages should be met with offsetting actions in order to meet budget targets.
    “Strengthened oversight and fundamental reform of the public enterprises are key priorities in the near term. IMF staff welcomes progress in this area and the government’s intention to significantly strengthen the monitoring and control of public enterprises, including through a high-level independent oversight committee and increased resources for the accounting unit responsible for monitoring performance.
    “While awaiting the findings of a review of domestic taxation by technical experts, consolidation efforts should also focus on the other components of expenditure, including ways to improve the targeting and effectiveness of social services. This should include scaling back some universal programs available to higher income groups to ensure that they reach the most needy.”
    “In parallel with deficit reduction, steps to raise growth are equally important. A number of large private and public investment projects in the pipeline should boost capital inflows and productive capacity. Efforts will be needed though to remove administrative impediments to doing business and lower production costs in the country, including unit labour costs. This is important for strengthening competitiveness under the fixed exchange rate regime.”
    “The banking system remains liquid and well capitalized, though bank profitability has declined since the prolonged recession. Staff welcomes the authorities’ commitment to implementing recommendations from the recent Financial Sector Assessment Update, including measures to enhance the supervision and regulation of non-bank financial institutions and off-shore banks, and to enhance the independence of the central bank.
    “The team wishes to thank the authorities and representatives of the private sector and labour for their hospitality and the constructive and frank dialogue.” Un quote.
