PRESS RELEASE
Response of the Board of Directors to the Union’s Letter Sent to the Ministry of VWS
March 21, 2024
SINT EUSTATIUS – The SEHCF Board of Directors has been informed about serious accusations leveled by the union All for 1 in a letter to the Ministry of VWS on March 11th, 2024, concerning the organization’s governance. In the letter words like nepotism, misuse of authority, victimization and conflict of interests were used. The Board of Directors wishes to emphasize that it does not recognize itself in the accusations, which is important to express because of the level of the allegations.
The Board notes that the concerns were not previously raised with them or the Supervisory Board, neither verbally nor in writing. The best approach to reach a resolve is for parties to have a respectful discussion with each other. The Board urges the union to communicate directly with them going forward. They propose scheduling a meeting to address concerns openly, providing an opportunity for both sides to explain their positions and fostering fair and open dialogue. Should All for 1 perceive any barriers in its communication with the Board of Directors or if disagreements remain unresolved, they are encouraged to contact the SEHCF Supervisory Board, tasked with overseeing the Board of Directors’ governance. This approach ensures that issues are addressed through appropriate channels and is conducive to a resolution.
In conclusion, the Board reaffirms its commitment to open and transparent communication, remaining willing to address the concerns raised in the letter to the Ministry of VWS. They trust that by addressing these concerns directly and constructively, both parties can collaborate towards a mutually beneficial resolution.
