Deputy Prime Minister of St Lucia, Dr. Ernest Hilaire, is calling on the private sector to follow the example of the government and provide their workers with a bonus at Christmas time.
“It is a philosophical principle. I believe when there are successes in the country — higher production and higher revenues — it should be shared. You can’t tell the private sector how to share their profits, but I believe the people that made it successful should benefit,” Hilaire told reporters.
A government statement Monday, quoted Prime Minister Phillip J Pierre as saying that the bonus is part of the government’s commitment to workers and families.
