In a news re­lease yes­ter­day, union pres­i­dent Michael An­nisette said the ex­ec­u­tive de­cid­ed dur­ing an emer­gency ses­sion to sup­port to Gov­ern­ment's pro­posed plan to use the fast fer­ry to trans­port much-need­ed re­lief sup­plies to Haiti.

An­nisette and the ex­ec­u­tive are call­ing on all of its mem­bers em­ployed on the fast fer­ry to lend their sup­port, to en­sure the peo­ple of Haiti ben­e­fit ful­ly from the ex­er­cise.
