So in essence we let the union bully the BOD and management into firing a GM. How sad. I was under the impression from Capitols address to the members that they had identified problems with staff and managers. How can we correct problems when the manager tries to correct the problems and gets fired. Unbelievable.

I was asking why we had a no strike clause because it is usual policy in negotiations to include a no strike clause so that employees can not strike while they are in contract. I found it odd that this was not included in our last union contract, especially when we graciously gave them a three year contract worth about 19% and shortened there work day by a day and didn’t change their pay. So here is the version of a story that may or may not apply to our resort. I can not state if anything is right about it or not. A management company had identified many deficiencies in the way employees and managers operate. The story goes that the resort manager was suspended and eventually let go because the GM tried to address the problems and the employees and managers did not like it and went to the union and threatened to strike. I was also told the employees were celebrating at the bar after the manager was suspended. So whether this story is a fairy tale or not I can not say. But it sure sounds very interesting.

Yes there is a reason I am asking this question. So Kandy, I ask again, did our BOD not include the strike clause in negotiations or will Aruban law not allow it. I have asked Mr Foley this question by e-mail also and he has not answered.

So Kandy, they can go on strike even though they are under contract. Is this by a Arubian law or did we not include it in the negotiations? In the answer please include the section of the Aruban Law that requires it.
