âIndeed, stalwarts such as Sir Alexander Bustamante, Norman Manley, St. William Grant, Hugh Shearer, Dwight Nelson, among other outstanding labour movement leaders, have played an integral role in transforming the labour movement, so we can now have a better country in which to live and work,â Mr. Holness said.
