Unsatisfactory Emergency Response At Workplace…and other things I am upset about

One of my best friends recently shared to me that she has been a victim of a chemical explosion at work. What is just disturbing and unacceptable is the way the management reacted to the explosion. The management told some of her colleagues to get back to work and it was not until people started fainting that they decided to call Emergency and evacuate the building. I am so upset about this I don’t even know where to start. These are the conditions in which people in Montego Bay have to work.

Which brings me back to my point regarding the type of things that the government allow foreign corporations to do to our people. These foreign corporations promise huge investments to our country, the government signs agreements with them, they use our valuable resources including human resources, give the people little or no benefits, they do not re-invest the profits into the local economy, the Government does not demand that they  stand by their contracts, then as soon as they make their millions, they shut down the company, leave the people out of jobs and move on. How long will Jamaicans continue to allow this to happen. Who will speak up for our people? I will write more about this soon. I am just angry right now.
