EVERY ONE HAS GOT THE FLU!

Government workers including customs and immigration officers here in St Lucia are staging a week long 'sickout'.

Why? well as usual it is wages. Negotiations broke down with this impasse.

Neither side was willing to budge from its position—on the one hand a zero percent increase from Government and a one off EC$1000 bonus, and on the other a 16% increase for the triennium 2010-2013 by the Unions.

However as usual there is a Caribbean solution for those needing to checkout with the "small special charge" helping the papers find their way to the officials.

Students though are welcoming the extra holidays.
