Tourism Workers Compensation
Hotel workers must be frustrated with all these announcements from the minister. He's jetting all over the world, and "bringing back" so many millions of visitor this and thousands of hotel room that.
Yet after so many years the workers are living "hand to mouth". They can't buy a house, can't retire comfortably.
We want to hear about how much of this money he is jetting around to get is staying in jamaica at all, much less benefiting local small business and farmers.
How about some education and training on these tourist communities as well? Instead of low level subsistence jobs and just a few large pockets being filled. Both foreign and local.
Is the minister working for us or for the big hotel groups? When he brings back all these visitors, and airlift and hotel rooms, almost all the benefit goes to them.
Even McDonald's has one of the best training and development programs in the food industry. They invest in their staff, and this offers many opportunities for promotion, internally and externally.
These hotels groups are taking some of the best people we have in these tourist areas and rural towns and "parking" their career in entry level, low paying jobs.
Again, how about some education and training?
