I'm a Jamaican I live in the USA it a disgrace don't let them pay you under pay don't let they slave you over people they cannot do it in the US so don't let them run to any country underpaying black people
❤ Love the courage of the HOTEL STAFFS you all deserved 150% increase which is about 10 times below minimum wage in the STATE...You cannot even qualify for a loan to build or buy a home. Time to get out of the hands of these Salve masters.💪
No sah.i wanted to support this hotel but I am cancelling now the cost to stay is so expensive and the workers don't get a thing.workers should get 3 meals a day and 15us a hour.
I agree they should be paying the workers better. It’s like a modern day slave plantation these hotels and other low paying jobs need to do justice for the people.
Government who is getting millions for salary plus benefits give themselves 250+% increase why they can't demand those hotels who are making millions in profit to offer better wages as cost of living in Jamaica is above citizens head.
Very proud of my sister (one of the holiday-makers who were "striking" alongside). It's outrageous that workers can be so undervalued, in a space that claims to be exclusive and indulgent! Double standards. Pay your people better and value their contribution!!!!
Tourism minister, please liason with the hotel management and increase the people dem salary and stop talking about politics. If its profitable to us work it out swiftly.
The Minister of Tourism is a disgrace, self-centered and inconsiderate. Years hoteliers have been using Jamaicans, verbally abuse Jamaicans, and paying them pittance. Who is going to stand up for these workers. Shameless Minister do better. I pray that the workers continue to unite and stand up for their rights. The Ministry of Labour is also a shameless set of people. Countless workers have contacted them and nothing is treated seriously because they just refuse to enforce the laws of the land. Also, because a some white people own these properties who are connected to the government. What a Jamaica?😢
Imagine people working at a hotel (jewels Paradise Cove) for two weeks yuh a guh home with 33000 most yuh get when hotel full is 44000 and dem nah hire staff suh the small amount of worker are wide spread still getting disrespect by designated managers and getting low wages. Stop crying politics because its a serious situation only who feels it knows it. I hurt me to see you making this political this is about the people facing hard ship.
It is so nice to see you always boasting on television about the boom of tourists coming to our shores, but yet workers can't enjoy any of these benefits. The more the increase the less we see. 🤦♂️
Ho my God, how them treat the hotel workers so bad mr Bartlett i don't think you're a good minister and let the hotelier treat there workers so poorly ,you know that when you treat workers good you get good service and everyone is happy, only the hotelier happy wickedness.
The tourism minister does not run the hotels. They are private entities run to provide profit for the owners. The minister's job is to promote the product for the benefit of the country.
THE GOVERNMENT SHOULD BE A SHAME BUT THE WORST THING IS THAT THE GOVERNMENT DONT HAVE NO SHAME AND THE DEALS THAT THEY MADE IS NOT IN THE INTEREST OF THE HOTELS WORKERS ,AND A MR HEADLESS BARTLET 😊😊😊😊😊😊BIG TIME SELL OUT.
The hotels are not run by the government. They are private entities. Why should he step down? His job is to promote the business to the benefit of the country.
People also need to look at the deeper aspects of this protest, meaning these Companies most probably pay next to nothing in TAX, while paying low wages,and sending most of their profits out of the Country which does nothing to benefit the JAMAICAN GOVERNMENT,ALL THIS UNDER THE WATCH OF THE JAMAICAN GOVERNMENT😮
Say again.... Revolution for tourism workers starts now... Not next year... We have to stand up now ... And demand changes that can never change back to the status quo.. NO MORE CONTRACT WORKING.. PERMANENT STAFF STATUS FROM DAY ONE.. INCREASE BENEFITS.. INCREASE PAY... UNION REPRESENTATION..
Jamaica must pay the citizens better than what they are currently doing. You charge guests and visitors so much per night at the various hotels in USA AND UK CURRENCY. SHAME AND DISGRACE!! STOP THE DISRESPECT AND BELITTLING OF THE JAMAICANS.
Holiness what you doing to Jamaican people working in the hotel industry.$2 a hour. What Jamaica not into slavers. Jamaica people stand up for your rights. Dam you holiness
Most time workers under paid and over work is not the government doing it?, is these abuse their workers and giving them what is due to them.why having a labour's ministry to guide employees and employers, these bosses do what them feel to do
😮 did i really heard him say there salary are two dollars an hour or am I not hearing well that can't be right it can't even buy a pound of flour no sah the minister of tourism Edmond Bartlett should stand up for the people
How about giving those workers the minimum of 15 U.S. dollar a hour! The same way these hotels charge US dollars to tourists the same U.S. dollar need to be given to the workers. It’s sad how the government allow their citizens to be exploited to tourism. It’s sickening. Give the staff their fair share. U.S. billions are coming thru Jamaica and the hotel staff is the backbone of these hotels. No staff means no business! Stand up for something or settle for nothing!
This man sell out Jamaica hotel workers as slaves in the industry. JAMAICA hotel minister must put the people first better pay, terms and condition or leave so someone else care look after the Jamaica hotel workers properly.

You are getting so much tourism, but you're under pay the people.I hope my people don't sit and deal with that crap take politicians out of power who are not helping you, I lived in the US. That's what we do
100% is not adequate, 500% is more like it. Where in the world do you hear persons workinh for $15. For a forty hour day? This is like they are indentured servants.

WHY IS BARTLET TALKING ABOUT POLITICS. HE SHOULD BE ASHAME BECAUSE HE IS NOT DEFENDIING THE TOURISM WORKERS
He's always been useless.
That's a disgrace to human race, everything is expensive, treat your people with respect
System tek Jamaican jamaica 🇯🇲 ppl fi fool
And the hotels are so expensive
This👏👏👏
Exactly 💯
Overpriced trying to recoup their covid loss
@everblessed9461 wow I don't even think of that, thats so true fam
Every hotel worker needs to protest
💯 agree
All the hotel works need to meet up one place to protect
It is an absolute disgrace how little pay these workers get
All Tourism workers fi lock down the country Dec 15
To punish the tourists?
They will never come back on holiday.
Wrong target.
U no have no darn sense
Good, the country not benefitting from TOURISM
ONLY BARTLETT IS BENEFITTING
Lock down were it hurts
Government must cut out contract working in the hotel industry...they really need to do so
Hotels charging us so much money and want to pay workers less than minimum wages that’s crazy.
Love to see Jcn 🇯🇲Standing up for their Rights. No Free Slave Labour in 2024
Bob Marley did sing u of to get up stand up for you right
Them not know our self until our back against the wall point blank
Ten dollars an hour is not unreasonable how can anyone live on two dollars an hour
LOL. Look up the Jamaican minimum wage
Food price is too high the people need more pay
❤ Love the courage of the HOTEL STAFFS you all deserved 150% increase which is about 10 times below minimum wage in the STATE...You cannot even qualify for a loan to build or buy a home. Time to get out of the hands of these Salve masters.💪
The hotels need to pay the workers better for cost of living is very high
Stand Firm, mek dem pay unu!
The hotel workers are really suffering 😢 and uncertain of their next meal whilst Minister Bartlett's cheeks are getting fatter like fi fada squirrel 🦑
What about the pockets of these unscrupulous owners
No sah.i wanted to support this hotel but I am cancelling now the cost to stay is so expensive and the workers don't get a thing.workers should get 3 meals a day and 15us a hour.
I agree they should be paying the workers better. It’s like a modern day slave plantation these hotels and other low paying jobs need to do justice for the people.
I don't wrong them
Jamaica 🇯🇲 peoples form the union N w u unian get a layer to represent you all workers
People work hard must get they .money
$2 ,00 US per hour. What. Even at $4,00 no way, when the hotel charges $200 plus US per night.
U mean 400 + per night
During peak season, off season you can get for less than bills.
Government who is getting millions for salary plus benefits give themselves 250+% increase why they can't demand those hotels who are making millions in profit to offer better wages as cost of living in Jamaica is above citizens head.
Very proud of my sister (one of the holiday-makers who were "striking" alongside). It's outrageous that workers can be so undervalued, in a space that claims to be exclusive and indulgent! Double standards. Pay your people better and value their contribution!!!!
Love how the hotel workers are slowly knowing their worth. Get your money!
Den these hotels managers don't see and hear the rumblings of the workers. Why aren't they addressing these issues before the workers strike ?
The minister of tourism should step down he is a disgrace under his watch this is allowed to happen despicable
Tourism minister, please liason with the hotel management and increase the people dem salary and stop talking about politics. If its profitable to us work it out swiftly.
A weh him deh
How could this be politics mr minister
Jamaicans need to be taken care of. In this country, Jamaicans needs to have zero tolerance to anybody being treated better than us
Take care of the worker give them the money 💵 they work for
Edmond Bartlett is a big sell out to the Jamaican people.
Hotel workers paying tax for years and yet NHT telling them that they r not qualified

Mr.Bartlett is a wicked little man ...wickedness..omg

Say again.... Revolution for tourism workers starts now... Not next year... We have to stand up now ... And demand changes that can never change back to the status quo.. NO MORE CONTRACT WORKING.. PERMANENT STAFF STATUS FROM DAY ONE.. INCREASE BENEFITS.. INCREASE PAY... UNION REPRESENTATION..
They should be able to pay workers more for the amount they charge for some of these hotels. Paying employees $15 USD a day is criminal.
Bartlett u need to lock down u mouth cause u have no sense. A pure foolishness u chat
That is sad never heard so low of a salary in tourism over 14 years and that's what they paying Jamaican workers???
Exploitation USA and JA... 1 person expected mto do work of 6

This man sell out Jamaica hotel workers as slaves in the industry. JAMAICA hotel minister must put the people first better pay, terms and condition or leave so someone else care look after the Jamaica hotel workers properly.
It's about time higher wages, higher wages, and better work conditions don't work like slaves to get cooperation rich while you are living in poverty

Trust me we work very hard in this industry, and we're underpaid. As a chef, it's not easy in the kitchen.
You are getting so much tourism, but you're under pay the people.I hope my people don't sit and deal with that crap take politicians out of power who are not helping you,
I lived in the US. That's what we do
100% is not adequate, 500% is more like it. Where in the world do you hear persons workinh for $15. For a forty hour day? This is like they are indentured servants.
And I am working ten dollars as a baby sitter in a next car Caribbean country
