Dean Flowers, President, PSU
"Pensioners have not seen an increase for decades, but the cost of living went up, inflation is up, so people are getting pushed down in poverty while those at the top like Stuart Leslie and his crew and those that finance these political parties, who continue to evade their tax obligations, we need tax reform. We need an increase in threshold for public officers, for laborers, for workers. We need the government to increase the minimum wage to at least $6. And if they can't do it for everybody because they're wrapped up in bed with the private sector, then do it for public sector workers."

"Don't tell me there is no money, you asked for the job, you asked to be elected, you said you can improve the lives of Belizean citizens, then do it. It is not my duty even though we have sacrificed through the cost savings enhancement committees over the last ten years to help successive administrations to improve governance, we did not get elected to do that but we've done it and so I'm saying to this administration, done away with the excuses, if you can't do your job, then get people in place that can do it."
