Dean Flowers Blasts Leadership Over Tax Shift

PSU President Dean Flowers says that while the union cannot determine government policies, it can influence how those polices are implemented. It is with this in mind that the PSU has been rallying employees at the Belize Tax Service Department to demand further clarity on the imminent transition. Flowers took shots at Longsworth, referring to her team and incompetent while asserting that they are managing the process terribly.

“The PSU is not, I don’t believe it is our place to determine what government policies are, but it is our place and our right to influence how those policies are effected properly. They have botched this process and deliberately what they intend to do is the exact same thing, to come like a thief in the night and affect people livelihood like what they did with those employees at the Cooperate and Companies Affairs Registry and what they did with IMMARBE with the Legal Aid, but thankfully these people were asking questions and they had no other option but to come out and say something, albeit they said noting and the day Ms. Longsworth share those minutes with me and we are able to agree on the content of those minutes, and thank goodness the president of the BNTU was in that meeting, thank goodness the human resource director of MPS was in that meeting, the president of APSSM and retired chief magistrate was in that building. So they all know what was said and not said and those minutes need to reflect the gross incompetence of Ms. Longworth and her team and the fact that they don’t know what the hell they are doing and that they are managing this process terribly.”
