GTUC calls on government to meet with market vendors

1 min. read
St George's Market Square
Share

The Grenada Trades’ Union Council (GTUC) is concerned with the ongoing struggles of some of our local market vendors to be able to use the Market Square to continue their livelihood following the closure in the fight against Covid-19.

The GTUC is fully aware of the economic hardships facing many Grenadians and applauds the vendors and all others who are seeking to be gainfully engaged.

The GTUC recognises and accepts that there is a need to improve some of the facilities and outlook at the Market Square.

It is very important that the relevant government authorities meet with the impacted Vendors and engage in respectful and genuine dialogue. The vendors’ voices need to be heard and listened to. This is necessary to help bring about a solution that will be beneficial to all concerned.

The Grenada Trades’ Union Council takes this opportunity to salute the vendors for their commitment and dedication in providing a much needed service to the people of Grenada.

    It is a very, very, very, sad, sad, sad day for Native or Indigenous Grenadians.

    The so-called people who represent our interest are down to the final stages in terms of putting the finishing touches on making us, Native Grenadians, permanent beggars and outcasts on the Island where our ancestors we brought in chains hundreds of years ago to be mistreated as slaves.

    The question is where do we go from here given that people from everywhere have been given all the resources of value on this Island while we stood by drinking rum, playing with real and false hair along with false nails, focusing on useless things like carnival, and having so-called fun each and every day.

    While we were asleep or pretended to be sleeping, everyone from elsewhere was given the green light and full support to get rich and wealthy on our backs, and with excellent help from our so-called representatives.

    If this market square issue does not wake us up, then nothing else will. Our creator and ancestors have been talking to and warning us for decades about our carelessness and lack of focus yet we have chosen to ignore such advice.

    The consequences of our hard-hardheadedness and inaction along with terrible and harmful decisions of the so-called people claiming to represent our interest will send shock-waves through us and our generations to come, until the end of time.

    Indigenous Grenadians, I hope it is not too late for us to wake up and salvage some of our resources of value. If we can wake up, we should still try as there might be a glimmer of hope. As it is often said, where there is hope, the is a way.

    The market square is and has been a favorite place in my heart and memory. My family and I discussed with detail and passion about the part it played just 3 weeks ago and expressed our wish to be involved in a positive way.
    Will we be able To?
    Our venders are essential workers and an institution by themselves. I thank God for every one.
