I would love to believe in this "paradise-view" of circumstances in Belize - unfortunately it seems very different to me.

Just one example: JP stopped to pay Belizean workers on certain occasions and these people (many of them fathers of families with many kids) could not pay their rent anymore and got in very big trouble. They went to labor office in San Pedro and labor office didn't move a finger. Many of them still don't have their money! JP himself told me (and I cannot say if it's true or not - but he told me!) about commitment of politicians to his projects.

So, Bywarren, it's good that you're dreaming of something that might perhaps one day be reality but I suppose that we're very far from this status!



In our experience, the Labour Board is very very much on the side of the employee - very. I'd say most employers would agree.

Once again Sunny Reef I am not defending the politicians or bureaucrats. From the volume of comments made by those involved with Jeff Pierce, it seems apparent to me this should be decided by the courts. As I stated, after a while, sympathy can turn to apathy when people complain and take no action to hold those responsible for wrong doings.
For those who may have initiated legal action, I commend you. For those just pissing and moaning on a message board, I am more interested in seeing justice and having all get what they deserve.

I have heard, from someone who heard it from Jeff's own lips, "I have the ministers in my pocket"....I guess that could be interpreted a couple of ways, but I only understand it as he can buy them off...if this isn't true, I'd love another explanation!

Isn't it peculiar to call a man dishonest and then hold up his own claims as truth?

Not if his words are stating illegal or underhanded actions. Those I would believe. However, if he said he had them working towards the betterment of something, I wouldn't believe a word he said!

I wish I knew what JP looked like in case I see him around town. Is there a photo posted anywhere online?

Perhaps that she may avoid engaging in any type of commerce or conversation with the dude? Only a guess.
