"WHEREAS the Bahamas Federation of Labour has conducted an  organizing campaign throughout the Bahama Islands which has resulted in  the formation and consolidation of seven (7) unions composing the greatest  number of organized workers in the Bahamas; 

If you are in the field, at the desk or in the factory on the 6th  June and feel a tremour in the earth's surface, then you will  know that the over 5,000 strong Federation of Labour is on  the march.

Mr. C. F. Wheeler, head of the Personnel Department of the  Coral Harbour project, has informed Mr. Randol Fawkes, founder  of the Bahamas Federation of Labour, that "however anxious I am  to help Bahamians, the promoters were conducting their project  in accordance with the prevailing customs in the Bahamas." Mr.  Wheeler said that he, personally did not agree with the principles  of unionism.

The working men and women are the foundation of any society.  Just as the strength of a building depends on the structure and  depth of its foundation, so does the strength of a community  depend on the organisation of its workers. It follows that if the  foundation is weak or the organisation poor, neither can survive  a sudden change in the atmospheric or economic conditions. 

Today the Commonwealth of the Bahamas is locked in a life-and-death struggle against the scourge of drugs and political corruption which will destroy us all, if they are allowed to go unchecked. The Labour Party, however, is not the first to proclaim this truth. Over two thousand (2000) years ago the wisest of men declared: "Righteousness exalteth the Nation but sin is a reproach to any people." (Proverbs 14:34).
