Is this the norm now? For every different public bodies in the line of duty. Whenever it comes on to the raising of their pay. There is all ways some form of demonstration for the worker's to get a simply raise and if you are not careful, you could be be fired. Just because you stand up for your rights. What kind of country is this, whenever you get up and start to demonstrate for your own very Right. You could be out of Job. Yet companies are making millions and billion's and these employer's thing it very hard to do what is right for the working class of people. This is where the NWC Comes in for the worker's of Jamaica. How sad! Whenever they have to comes out with placards and Shout out. We want justice.
