The President of the Caribbean Employers Confederation is warning that jobs will go elsewhere if regional governments fail to act on their CSME commitments.
The CEC and its members have committed themselves to Decent Work, to supporting the establishment and further development of the CSME and to the implementation of the “global jobs” pact in the Caribbean and we will continue to do all humanely possible to ensure positive outcomes with respect to these matters, but we do firmly believe that, without social dialogue at the national and regional levels, without a predictable business environment in the CSME and without full free movement for economic purposes, the implementation of the “global jobs pact” in the Caribbean will be severely hampered…
The comment below is such an important point for review. Is it a lack of will?
“integration process lacks solidarity, predictability and
implementation of the various provisions”
I believe that it is a lack of knowledge on the citizens of the region of the disturbing realities in our region and it is important that we motivate the university students to take closer look at these situations and mobilise a force for change because the job situation will impact on us.
