Caribbean Congress of Labour general secretary Michael Annisette has welcomed the decision by Barbados, Belize, Dominica and St Vincent to allow full free movement among themselves under Caricom’s Single Market and Economy (CSME), and called on all Caricom states to accelerate efforts toward full CSME.
“We extend our deep appreciation to the four governments for their visionary leadership. Their example reaffirms that our Caribbean is stronger together, and that integration must remain people-centered, grounded in solidarity and the dignity of work,” Annisette said in a release, noting that full free movement rights are not yet embraced by all Caricom Member States.
In welcoming, the decision by Barbados, Belize, Dominica and St Vincent for to implement full free movement among themselves from October 1, he added, “This progressive step gives real meaning to the vision of regional integration, unity, and social justice embedded in the Revised Treaty of Chaguaramas. It marks a defining moment in our journey toward a truly borderless Caribbean, where citizens can move, work, and live freely across our region.”
