NASSAU, BAHAMAS – Prime Minister Philip Davis remembering former parliamentarian and trade unionist David Knowles as a leader who made it his mission to uplift the common man.

Knowles passed away earlier this week.

He was also a former Progressive Liberal Party stalwart and the former leader of The Bahamas Hotel Catering and Allied Workers Union.

In 1977, Knowles and Edward “Bobbi” Glinton entered into negotiations with the late Sir Lynden Pindling to settle the terms of a memorandum of understanding between the PLP and the Trade Union Congress.

In a statement, Prime Minister Davis said, “Mr. Knowles was quietly confident and with an unassuming demeanor in public life… But stood for the principles of uplifting the common man and worked tirelessly to advance that principle.”
