dc.description.abstractAntiguan government Member of Parliament Hugh Marshall received word that he and Foreign Affairs Minister Lester Bird are next on a list of senior officials who have been the targets of arson attacks. Public service workers in Grenada feel neglected as Prime Minister Nicholas Brathwaite intervenes in the wage dispute between the private sector workers and their employers. They have given the government fourteen days to come to an agreement. Thirteen thousand sugar workers in Jamaica return to their jobs after agreeing to the daily rate and minimum wage settlements in the new contract with producers. In Jamaica, it is hoped that Prime Minister Michael Manley will announce his decision to step down at his party’s meeting on Sunday. Governor of the Belize Central Bank Keith Arnold believes that although the long term prospects look dim for Caribbean banana producers, Belize can hold its own even without preferential access to European markets. Barbadian doctors are exploring the possibility of a regional kidney bank to expedite matches between patients and donors. Finally, an OAS plan to restore ousted President Jean-Bertrand Aristide to power will be debated by Haitian lawmakers.en_US
