BNTU Fires Off Letter to PM
posted (October 16, 2017)
Back to BNTU news - We also asked President Elena Smith about an update on their 8 demands. They have been waiting on the PM to give them a progress report. But at this point - there has only been a back and forth of letters between the PM and the BNTU. So they fired off another one to him today. Here is how Smith put it.

Hon. Elena Smith, President, BNTU
"We wrote the PM again because he responded and we sent him another respond and our request remains the same that we are asking that he provide us with an update on our 8 demands. Again we must reiterate the fact that when we discussed or when we negotiated these 8 demands, it was with the PM and so we feel that it is only right to go directly to him and ask him to provide the update we haven't gotten any as yet, we hope that we will be getting one seeing that we sent him another letter."

"I think it is only fitting that our people are aware, there may be good things that have happened that we are not aware of and so one would think that they would be happy to share those with us and we are looking forward to hearing of those good things that have happened and to see where we are having some issues and there is a possibility that we will be able to offer some suggestions to the Prime Minister you never know so unless we get the update there is nothing we can offer."

Smith says they are giving the PM 2 weeks to respond.
