We are deeply saddened to learn of the passing of the former Labour Commissioner, a dedicated public servant whose contributions to the development of labour and industrial relations in Antigua and Barbuda will be remembered with great respect and appreciation.

Throughout his tenure, Mr. Hesketh Williams demonstrated unwavering commitment to fairness, dialogue, and the protection of workers’ rights, while also fostering an environment that supported productive and respectful relations between employers and employees.

His leadership played a vital role in shaping the labour landscape of our nation, and his efforts have left a lasting legacy that will continue to benefit generations to come.

On behalf of The People’s Union, we extend our heartfelt condolences to his family, friends, colleagues, and the wider community who mourn his loss.

May his memory be a source of comfort and inspiration, and may he rest in eternal peace.
