Stann Creek President Message
I am honored to share this message on behalf of the Stann Creek Branch of BNTU, which has been one of the most vibrant and energized branches. The Stann Creek Branch remains committed, dynamic and continues to grow in membership. I proudly state that we are now the Branch with the second highest membership. It is with great conviction and confidence that I declare that the Membership of the Stann Creek Branch respects, embraces and applies the principles on which unionism is built. We have never been more unified; we fully believe that every teacher should be treated fairly and we will confront any element that threatens the job security of our teachers.
We are truly our brothers and sisters keepers. Our members value freedom of speech and freedom to assemble among all the other rights and freedoms vested in the Constitution of Belize. Despite being an old cliché, the phrase “knowledge is power” still rings true in our hearts as educators. We must not only continue to share our knowledge with our students but with each other as well. We also should not be comfortable with the knowledge we have gained; we must seek to acquire more knowledge in order for us to make informed decisions that will benefit us, our students and the entire country of Belize. As the most powerful union in the country, it is incumbent upon us to remain vigilant and knowledgeable, in order to protect our best interests.
On behalf of the Membership of the Stann Creek Branch, we invite all Members of the BNTU to respect the principles of unionism, familiarize themselves with the Constitution, Vision and Mission of the Union, and what being a member of our prestigious union means. Those are critically important in order for us to know who we are and to never allow anyone to bring down our union and discredit our union in any way. Together we will remain the Mighty Green Machine!!!
Solidarity forever.
Sis. Denise Flores-Henry
Stann Creek Branch President
