Social Share
St Vincent and the Grenadines entered the month of April 1981 in a state of deteriorating social and economic conditions with the industrial situation rapidly worsening. In the earlier series we made mention of several industrial disputes;
among them some requiring recognition of trade unions and the right to bargaining power on behalf of their workers.
This did not seem to be a priority for the government of the day which continued to ignore the growing unrest.
Unfortunately, some of them were critical not just to the industrial relations climate, but to the very well-being of the Vincentian people.
