The Chairman of the Social Economic Council (SER) Mr. Rene Richardson and Arjen Arends of the SER presented a copy of the SER Draft Ordinance on Short Term Labor Contracts on Tuesday.
The SER was established in May of 2011and has as its main goal the advising of government on policies and draft laws in the social and economic field. The Government of St. Maarten requests advice from the SER on matters of a social and economic nature and the SER in turn offers advice to Government on draft laws and policies that fall within its mandate.
The Prime Minister initiated the Social Economic Council in May 2011 and conducted the first official meeting of the council at the AC Whaley Legislative Hall that same month.
