“Will the Panamanian workers on the Trump Ocean Club be fairly treated?”
What about the Panamanian workers who will be building your Flying Sail, Mr. Trump? Will you be acting in agreement with current Latin American policy in which there would be no humane response to a worker falling to his death, off a building in progress? Under the current national agreements, your builder and developer team would owe his family nothing. Last year 27 construction workers died on the job…and their families lost not just the breadwinner of the family…they lost almost everything.
One who is only concerned about looking good would say…not my problem. Someone who’s interested in being good, will consider the issue from all sides and work on creating as an alternative, a workable compromise between the workers and the building management team; that treats them fairly, compensates them fairly, and insures them enough to support their family for at least a year…in the event of their death or severe injury. (By the statutes of your homeland, these are very conservative considerations.)
And that concept would give the workers the option of an employer not associated with hostile unions. Yeah, a lot of the innocent workers have been sucked into trade unions, but what they want is security for their families…can you and your building team, offer them that? Let’s talk about compromise being a good thing.
