Labor Day Vision for Bahamian Workers

Deputy Prime Minister Chester Cooper energized a Labor Day rally in Grand Bahama, spotlighting economic wins like Celebration Key and big-ticket projects from MSC and Royal Caribbean — all fueling jobs and opportunity for youth. He framed Labor Day not as a holiday, but as a call to honor dignity, fairness, and the unsung heroes keeping the nation running. Cooper touted 60+ labor agreements, a raised minimum wage, and key programs like Upskill Bahamas and Digi-Learn — while promising upcoming labor bills will tackle youth priorities like apprenticeships and paternity leave. With a pledge to unite with every union, he rallied citizens around a shared mission: building a stronger, more dignified future through solidarity and hard work.
