dc.description.abstractThere appears to be a temporary cessation of hostilities between the trade unions and the Trinidad and Tobago government, as the unions agreed to accept a proposal for voluntary redundancy of its members in the public utilities sector – correspondent Tony Fraser interviews Errol McLeod, President General of the OWTU. George De Peana, Caribbean Advisor International Labour Organization is calling on the labour movement to reorder their attitudes towards money and collective bargaining. In an interview with correspondent Sandra Baptiste, De Peana outlined some suggestions to achieve these desired outcomes. Despite a decision to maintain free access to the European market - the banana issue continues to be a decisive matter among British MPs. John Gummer, Agriculture Minister reported in parliament on an EC Council Meeting where the council maintained market preferences for Caribbean bananas. Correspondent Yvette Rowe reports on the statements of British MP - Phillip Arthur Charles Lawrence Oppenheim. The UN has called for Haitians arrested following a mass for victims of the ferry accident to be released. The UNs Secretary-General of the (UN) - Boutros Boutros-Ghali said that the detainees should be released in the interest of democracy – correspondent Yvette Rowe reports. HIV Positive Haitians refugees at Guantanamo Bay in Cuba say that they will continue to fight their ban on their entry into the US, and continue their hunger strike in protest. In an interview with correspondent Yvette Rowe - Miami Attorney for Haitian refugees - Cheryl Little says that the recent US Senate vote to maintain the ban is disheartening. The shadow boxing between boxer - Riddick Lamont Bowe and Lennox Lewis continue with no clear sign about when the real thing (fight) will happen. In Puerto Rico millions of dollars in property was seized in a major drug raid executed by US police and agents. The assets - homes, businesses and islands are believed to be owned by a Columbian led group of drug smugglers and money launderers, and the value of the seizure is estimated at 20 million dollars.en_US
