KINGSTON, Jamaica—With issues relating to labour spread across different ministries, Opposition Spokesman on Labour and Sport, Wavell Hinds, is proposing the creation of what he calls the Ministry of Labour and Workforce Development.

“All workforce training, legal protections, and certification programmes belong under one administrative roof, ensuring every working person has unhindered structural access to economic advancement,” said Hinds.

He was speaking in the House of Representatives on Tuesday during his contribution to the 2026/27 Sectoral Debate.
