Hillsborough, May 4th- Senator the Hon. George Prime has called on workers in Carriacou and Petite Martinique to develop innovative skills which will help improve productivity in the workplace. In what was seen as a May Day celebration with a difference, the Minister responsible for Carriacou and Petite Martinique Affairs shared the day with workers for the first time in many years. In his remarks, the Minister told workers they should not take their jobs for granted. He said employers are placing great priority on workers with innovative skills, who can help to increase productivity. He said while government sees the labour movement as a critical partner in development, employees must let the quality of their work be the measuring stick by which they are judged, so they can be considered a valuable asset to the workplace. The May Day celebration also heard messages of solidarity from the various trade unions. The event was followed by a march through the streets of Hillsborough which culminated with eating and merriment at the Hillsborough Government School grounds. Parliamentary Representative for Carriacou and Petite Martinique, Hon. Elvin Nimrod was listed on the programme, he failed to show up.
