Guest workers to hold motorcade rally

Human rights advocate Wendy Doromal, a former Rota teacher now based in Florida, lauded the meeting and relayed her inspirational message to the guest workers.

Rabby Syed, United Workers Movement president, said about 120 attended the meeting.

“The meeting was very successful,” he added.

Syed said the motorcade will start from Kilili Beach in Susupe and end at  American Memorial Park.

The assembly time is 2 p.m.

The guest workers, he said, will ask the U.S. Congress to “fast-track” the approval of Interior’s recommendations.

He said guest workers are worried that many of them may not benefit from any favorable U.S. congressional action.

The umbrella permit issued to guest workers by the CNMI government will expire on Nov. 7, 2011, he said.

After that date, he added, some guest workers will have no more jobs and will be out of status in the CNMI.

Ronnie Doca, United Workers Movement chairman, read a letter from Doromal.

“The United Nations Declaration of Human Rights recognizes that all people are entitled to economic, social, political, and human rights,” she said. “A disenfranchised underclass in a broken two-tiered system is not privy to these inalienable rights.”
