PHILIPSBURG:--- Independent Member of Parliament Christophe Emmanuel on Sunday said the lack of backup generators at the Princess Juliana International Airport (PJIA) compounds the embarrassing situation at the airport for visitors and residents alike, and called on government for an explanation as well as to divulge what its current actions are regarding the Holding Board of the airport (PJIAH).
The MP said on top of the airports inability to provide basic service such as electricity for the second straight week, it has come to his attention that government is reportedly about to change the members of the Holding Board which could lead to the appointee from the Schiphol Group heading the Supervisory Board of PJIAH.
The lack of information and communication, he said, remains an issue with the government who doesnt seem to understand or care that timely and truthful information benefits everyone and dispels rumors and innuendo Read more

Witu To Sxm Government: Time To Think Creatively! Stop Going After Teachers And Civil Servants.

Why is it that every time the SXM Government finds itself in financial difficulties, that the first set of people to be affected are teachers and civil servants?

How many times has WITU given you alternatives to touching our members monies?

How can you touch the peoples pockets, yet not touch yours? Set the example! You want us to tighten our belts, then you tighten yours! Show your care for your essential workers by regulating their salaries, regulating food prices and doing whatever is necessary to make your Country people comfortable and happy to come to work.
How can you increase the workload of your most important people, people who kept the Country running during a pandemic, then as a thank you - take food from their families mouths by reducing their vacation pay?

The implications of civil servants and teachers not receiving these monies is that additional financial strain, on top of the workload, is placed on them.

Do you think its right that we depend so much on a vacation allowance that is never used for actual vacation? Do you think it is correct to use that extra money to make sure our children are fed and clothed for the new school year? School fees and insurance are paid? Sadly, we depend so much on this extra income Read more
