Reference excerpt

The Saint Kitts and Nevis Trades and Labour Union (TLU) is a general union in St Kitts and Nevis. The union was founded in 1940, following the legalization of trade unions in St Kitts and Nevis. It was initially named the St Kitts - Nevis - Anguilla Trades and Labour Union, and focused on organizing sugar workers. Its founding president was Edgar Challenger. Before the union could register with the government, sugar workers undertook a walk-out, asking for an increase in pay, in view of the increased price of sugar during World War II. The union decided to make the action an official strike. It succeeded in obtain pay increases, but 70 workers were sacked. Despite the mixed success of the action, it was seen as cementing the union's leading role in the country's labour movement. In 1943, the union organised a ten day general strike, which won a pay increase across many sectors. In 1948, the union led a three-month strike on St Kitts among sugar cane cutters, officially calling for changes to the method of payment, but also making a variety of political demands. The strike was settled by an agreement with the Sugar Producers Association. The union was a founding affiliate of the International Confederation of Free Trade Unions (ICFTU). Robert Llewellyn Bradshaw succeeded Challenger as president of the union, and he was elected to the ICFTU's executive board. By this point, the union had sections for sugar estate workers, sugar mill workers, waterfront workers, civil servants, and general workers. The union has a close relationship with the ruling Saint Kitts and Nevis Labour Party (SKNLP) formerly The Workers League. The TLU is affiliated with the International Trade Union Confederation.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Saint Kitts and Nevis Trades and Labour Union

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Saint Kitts and Nevis Trades and Labour Union claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Saint Kitts and Nevis Trades and Labour Union before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Saint Kitts and Nevis Trades and Labour Union ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.
