Marshall: Time to boycott Hill businesses

Date:

Share post:

Professor Don Marshall is advising Barbadians to boycott Hill Milling and Lionel C. Hill Supermarket, and any other business place that insists on using coercive tactics to vaccinate its staff.

“If ever there was a time for organised worker resistance, it is now. This is an assault of the highest and unkindest order. It is about time that people in Barbados with influence come right out and say, ‘This is not how Barbados works or has been run’.

“If the Government of Barbados is afraid to say so, I will say so as a public intellectual that I will wage moral outrage against this. This is not on. I am not going to be somebody who remains safe behind UWI (University of the West Indies) walls in a professorship and just be part of any echo chamber.

“I am going to use my voice and say this is wrong. It is in defiance of the Social Partnership, it is a disrespect to the people of Barbados, as citizens and as consumers and residents who live and pay taxes here,” he told the MIDWEEK NATION. (RA)
