I hope that this is not true. We already have too many damn public holidays. Give the man $10M like what Harvey Boris said on radio today. Name a new sporting facility after him. But no holiday please!

that's ridiculous...way too much jus for a gold medal

the issue is we don't need another holiday, we already unproductive as is.

very true...but I glad for an extra day

BOOM

Proof that Trinidad and Tobago will always be a Third World country. And all in light of the major disaster zone? Really, Kamla? Not even a full business day for affected victims to obtain needed supplies, water, food and more crew members to be present to effectively clean up the areas damaged by flooding?

Trinidad and Tobago is a complete hot mess! My heart also goes out to the self-employed who do not get paid even on the established public holidays in the country. This just means you will have to hustle harder to make up for lost earnings this week.

Enjoy your laziness, Trinidad and Tobago!

[GReddy23]

is there a diff between a public & national holiday?

Did you not read my last post, Stephon? I work Sundays now and then myself. My point is, ask any holiday hater to give up a no work Sunday or ANY of their days off and see how happy they gonna be to work..esp if it's for no extra pay.

"And in tribute to the glorious achievements of Kershorn Walcott and our Olympic team I am proud to inform the nation that I have advised His Excellency, the Acting President Timothy Hamel Smith that Monday August 13th be appointed a national holiday."
-Kamla Persad-Bissessar
Prime Minister's address to the nation : August 12th 2012




can someone please clarify the difference;

NATIONAL HOLIDAY.

PUBLIC HOLIDAY.

Is it one and the same??

Well The Avenue will be crowded tonight. Money will be spent on alco, food and sex. Folks already dollzing up to head out for fete and celebrations while many of their fellow citizens are without electricity trying to find a place to shower and a bed to sleep on in Diego and surrounding communities.

As for tomorrow, folks will be too busy recovering from their drunken stupor to lend a helping hand and utilize the day off to help a victim.

But hey, you're celebrating country tomorrow and proud to be a Trini.

During the week, my average workday is 16 hours. On Saturdays and Sundays, my average workday is 12 hours. I have no time off. I do not get paid overtime. I have work to get done on construction projects and this public/national holiday is just affecting my schedule. I have no idea how many workers will turn out tomorrow.
