De Weever again seeks retraction from Bosman

THE HAGUE/PHILIPSBURG--St. Maarten attorney-at-law Jairo Bloem by letter dated November 10, 2014, has reminded Member of the Second Chamber of the Dutch Parliament André Bosman of the liberal democratic VVD party of his demand to retract his "slanderous" statements in relation to his client caretaker Minister Cornelius de Weever.

Mid-October 2014, Bloem sent an open letter to Bosman asking him to do the "honourable thing" and to retract his "erroneous and defaming remarks." On October 1, during the handling of the 2015 draft Kingdom Relations budget in the Second Chamber he stated that De Weever was "simply bought" by United People's Party (UP) Leader Theo Heyliger to join the UP in Parliament as an independent member.

On behalf of his client, Bloem asked Bosman to refrain from making such remarks in the future Read more

De Weever says unions should be honest about Coliseum job loss

PHILIPSBURG--Labour Minister Cornelius de Weever said on Sunday that it was "extremely important" for all parties including trade union leaders to be "honest and substantiate their statements made to the media" regarding the 12 workers who lost their jobs at Coliseum Casino last week Monday.

De Weever was reacting to statements made by Windward Islands Chamber of Labour Unions (WICLU) officials at a press conference last Thursday that government should step up to the plate for the sacked casino workers who were put on the breadline after the owner of the employment agency under which they were contracted to work for the casino, died.

De Weever said union leaders who do not have "the complete story" can contact his cabinet "instead of making assumptions and misinforming the public."

The Minister said in a press release Sunday that he was "fully aware" of the matter and had been addressing the situation involving the Coliseum Casino and the associated employees Read more
