Prime Minister Harris attributes country’s peaceful industrial climate to Labour Department

BASSETERRE, ST. KITTS, February 8, 2019 (PLP PR Media Inc.) — The Federation of St. Kitts and Nevis is experiencing a peaceful industrial climate, and Prime Minister Dr the Hon Timothy Harris is attributing it to the Labour Department’s constructive role and responsible engagement in labour matters.
