A leading trade union official in the Bahamas has warned the country's workers that they will face stiff competition for jobs when the Bahamas joins the Free Trade Area of the Americas (FTAA) in 2005, according to a report in Friday's Nassau Guardian.
Speaking last week, Huedly Moss, President of the Bahamas Utilities Services and Allied Workers Union told Bahamians that: 'The best thing the common man can do, to survive and to prepare himself for the...FTAA is to become as qualified, informed and as educated as they possibly can.'
'As long as we are just sitting on our laurels and not doing anything to improve ourselves, hoping for some government to perform some miracle for us, it can't work,' the union leader said of the country's forthcoming membership of the Association, which is designed to reduce barriers to cross-border trade and investment between member states.
