14 JOB SUITS

CRIMINAL CHARGES have been brought against Larsen & Toubro and its management, for illegally hiring 14 Indian labourers who worked at the Kensington Oval Redevelopment Project last year. Senior legal sources confirmed to the DAILY NATION yesterday that 14 separate charges have been lodged against the Indian construction firm and a similar number against its deputy general manager Surendra Babu. They are accused that some time late last year, they engaged in employment of a person who was not a citizen, permanent resident or immigrant and to whom no work permit had been granted for engagement, or employment at Kensington Oval. He also hinted that criminal and civil action was being planned jointly against Larsen & Toubro Limited and World Cup Barbados.Source:

I see we in Barbados have a very selective suing process. If you are an indian hailing from the south american continent, then no permit necessary, come right through.. stop by the PM's house and he may even sort you out with a lil job. You can even bring your "uncle" to stay with you, don't mind we hear the bed creaksing at night, all in the family right? But, if you are an Indian crossing the Atlantic, cakes burn... we uh... don't tolerate illegal immigrants working here and am... yea.. ting. I sure dem got nuff twangs from down south labouring without a work permit on the same kesington oval, digging holes for the same $10 a day. But i suppose if de PM's woman was from Asia, all uh this woulda blow over eversince. Who really running this country tho? It seems government can encourage anything at all and get away with it, while we sit as spectators and keep noise for a day or 2. Yes, a government of the people, by the people and against the people. Wait, one time weren't they offering rewards for indentifying illegal immigrants? How much it was? $1 billion for each 1 thousand persons? I need a new space ship and I think that should about cover it.
