Khurt Fletcher

Khurt Fletcher is the island supervisor for the National Workers’ Union (NWU) in Jamaica, known for his strong advocacy for worker rights and protections against exploitation. Recently, he has been vocal in opposing calls for reforms in Jamaica’s labour laws that some business leaders, including Montego Bay Chamber of Commerce and Industry President Jason Russell, argue are overly burdensome for small businesses. Fletcher firmly believes that existing labour laws are essential for safeguarding workers, emphasizing that work is not a commodity but a social right that must be diligently protected.
