  • Grenada Technical and Allied Workers Union V Kenny Lalsingh Investments
    IN THE SUPREME COURT OF GRENADA AND THE WEST INDIES ASSOCIATED STATES HIGH COURT OF JUSTICE (CIVIL) CLAIM NO. GDAHCV2008/0292 BETWEEN: GRENADA TECHNICAL & ALLIED WORKERS UNION Applicant and KENNY A. LALSINGH INVESTMENTS COMPANY (KALICO) LIMITED Respondent Appearances: Mr. Ruggles Ferguson for the Applicant Mr. Dwight Horsford for the Respondent --------------------------------------- 2009: May 26 August 28 ---------------------------------------- JUDGMENT [1] MICHEL, J. (Ag.): By Notice of Application filed on 16th May 2008 the Applicant, Grenada Technical And Allied Workers Union, applied to the Court for an order pursuant to Part 21 of the Civil Procedure Rules 2000 (CPR) permitting the Applicant to represent the workers of the Respondent, Kenny A. Lalsingh Investments (Kalico) Limited, in a civil action against the Defendant. [2] The grounds of the application were that there are approximately twenty persons who can be claimants in the suit and that the Applicant has a sufficient interest in the proceedings to represent all of the persons who have the same interest. [3] The relevant facts are that the Applicant is a registered trade union which is recognised as the bargaining agent of the clerical and shop assistants employed by the Defendant. The Applicant alleges that, contrary to the labour laws of Grenada, the Defendant has been compelling its clerical and shop assistants to work on Sundays and has not been paying 1 them overtime for so doing. The Applicant therefore seeks the Court’s permission to institute proceedings against the Defendant on behalf of the affected employees to right the alleged wrong. [4] The matter first came before the Judge in Chambers on 31st October 2008 and was adjourned to 28th November 2008.

Hurray June 1970 a h s t h a c t Statement of the Problem. It is the purpose o£ this study (1) to ascertain how social legislation has affected the evolution of political trade unionism in the West Indies; (2) to determine how social legisla­ tion In the 1930's and after independence In 19G2 by native politicians contributed to the political style and culture orientation of labor vis-a-vis the employer. The author has made two assumptions: (1) the assumption on wages; and (2) the assumption on taxation. This study assumes that wage policy and wage movements in colonial society were influenced by the level of economic activity in an agricultural society and that wages of the worker were not far removed from the subsistence level. Therefore, such wages wore employed as a form of social control by the dominant planting aris­ tocracy over a weak but numerically stronger laboring class. It is asaumcd that taxes (direct and indirect) were not instituted to foster economic growth and national development. This historical research leads to four basic conclusionsi (1) that prior to 1937, social legislation imposed on the weaker segment of the society denied the laboring blacks the fundamental rights of suffrage and collective bargaining, (2) that the denial of the right to participate in the society coupled with the social plight of the worker contributed to the politicization of West Indian labor after 1937; (3) that West Indian laboringmen are the.

Throughout the 70's, Jamaica and Trinidad & Tobago represented around 80% of CARICOM's GDP, according to Caribbean Development Bank figures, and there WJ:kE a genuj.ne equilibrium of power amongst the four most developed countries.

Jamaica .- In relation to the Manley's version of socialism, for instance, Payne and Sutton have concluded:. Manley never intended to lead Jamaica down this Esocialistl path, knowing how unrealistic an option it was in the circumstances in which he had to work, but some of his language and some of )is policies nevertheless suggested that this was his goal, thereby bringing upon his government the wave of opposition one would expect.

  • Appendix 1 Talking Points for Ambassador Ortiz, April 10, 1979
    Appendix 1 Talking Points for Ambassador Ortiz, April 10, 1979 —My government is aware of your concern over allegations that Gairy may launch an invasion to regain control of Grenada. —The conduct of any activities on U.S. territory aimed at overthrowing a friendly government are strictly prohibited by U.S. law and are a matter of grave concern to my government. —Neutrality matters are investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation as criminal violations. The FBI is required to investigate alleged violations thoroughly to obtain the full facts, the identities of the parties concerned, and other available pertinent information. Such allegations are then relayed to the criminal division of the Department of Justice for its review. The Department of Justice then determines what actions should be taken by the FBI to further investigate the alleged violations. —The Department of State has advised the FBI of the possibility that Gairy might attempt to gather a mercenary force to invade Grenada and of the con- cerns of your government. —We do not yet have hard facts in this regard, only unsubstantiated allegations. —We are awaiting a determination by the Department of Justice on what action might be warranted. —My government will attempt to keep track of Gairy’s whereabouts and activi- ties, to the extent that it is proper and possible to do so. However, until the Department of Justice determines that surveillance of Gairy is warranted by the facts in the case, it is difficult to know where he is at all times, particularly since he is no longer under Secret Service protection.
