The Jamaican Government through it’s Attorney General Patrick Atkinson, has secured an Injunction from the Supreme Court intended to force sick police officers back to work.
The gist of the Injunction is that the police is to cease and desist from it’s industrial action for a period of 28 days and return to the bargaining table with the Government.
Sounds like a fair bit of adjudication right?
Not so fast… Atkinson buoyed by what he thought was the final bludgeoning tool with which he would crush the lowly rank-and-file cops, declared that failing to comply with the Injunction would be tantamount to contempt of court with penalty including Government confiscation of police officers property.
Clearly this corrupt Government of the intellectually challenged Simpson Miller is looking to start a civil war in the Island nation.
Simpson Miller and her band of incompetents, must know that despite placing it’s functionaries in critical positions of civil society , including the courts, that it would be asking for war were they to try to enforce that Injunction.
In fact the Jamaican Newspapers are reporting that over 1,000 cops had reported sick out of a force of 12.000. After the Injunction was issued over 3.000 officers reported sick.
News flash to the lackeys on the Supreme Court, if a Doctor say the cops are sick, guess what ?
They are sick and there’s not a damn thing you can do about it.
What cheek?
Confiscation of property?
This Administration, just welcomed Barack Obama the President of the United States to Jamaica. The Central Intelligence Agency is patently aware that Jamaica is inherently corrupt. The Agency is also aware that the régime does not support or respect police officers and the rule of law.
Why did Obama legitimize the Portia Simpson Miller Government by visiting Jamaica at this time?
There is no other explanation other than his desire to push the Homosexual Agenda on Jamaica.
The Police Federation, the Union which represents Rank and file members of the department had already indicated it“s willingness to go back to the bargaining table to discuss the issue of salaries and benefits. The Government for it’s part, had all the time in the world to come up with a package for public sector workers that was less insulting.
Using the courts as an intended tool of intimidation to public sector workers is disgraceful. It’s also illuminating to the nation the contempt the Kleptomaniac inept administration has for ordinary working people.
According to a reliable sources the inflation rate in Jamaica was recorded at 4.40 percent in April of 2015.
Over a 12 month period Jamaica’s Inflation rate fluctuates between a low of 4 and a high of 9.7%.
A pay increase of 3% in the first year does not even cover the cost of inflation.
Adopting a posture of a plantation owner to public sector workers is not exactly a prescription for social order.
It is important that these very Police Officers, Nurses, Teachers and other public sector workers, remember the way the Government responded to their legitimate demand for a livable wage.
The cops demand is even more just, in light of what they face daily.
They should never forget nor forgive this outrageous affront.
