	The life and work of Hugh Lawson Shearer - JAMAICAOBSERVER.COM
		Hugh Shearer, too, was the ultimate team player, as was to be attested to by Edward Seaga, the man who replaced him at the helm of the JLP and who, it is widely held, played no small role in prising Shearer out of the post of political leader of the JLP.
		Shearer came back to wild speculation over who would become prime minister, and it is reported that he narrowly won among his parliamentary colleagues on the second ballot, and not without the influence of Bustamante being brought to bear on the final vote.
		Shearer continued to be among the leading lights in the trade union movement and in 1977, at the death of Bustamante, was elected president-general of the BITU and played a major role in bridging the old divide between Jamaican trade unions.

	Guardian \| Hugh Shearer
		Hugh Shearer, who has died aged 81, governed Jamaica during a watershed period of Caribbean history.
		The humbly born Shearer began his career at 18 as an official with the Bustamante Industrial Trade Union (Bitu), the country's biggest union and the industrial arm of the conservative Jamaica Labour Party (JLP).
		The gentlemanly Shearer was also being shunted aside by a cabal of light-skinned ministers in his government and, after Manley's landslide victory in the 1972 general election, he came under attack from their leader, the US-born Lebanese-Jamaican Edward Seaga, who seized control of the JLP from him in 1974.

	The legacy of Hugh Lawson Shearer - JAMAICAOBSERVER.COM
		EVEN AS WE MOURN the passing of Elder Statesman Hugh Shearer, the regrets stand alongside a strange sense that it has occurred at a time when the society needed some sort of anodyne, some catalyst for reflection and even a restoration of a sense of proportion in our political life.
		Supporters of Walter Rodney, the Guyanese lecturer and social activist whose banning by Mr Shearer's government led to student riots, may not be so benign in their assessment of his legacy, but even they have been disarmed by the passing years.
		Hugh Lawson Shearer will be laid to rest and history will move on, as it inevitably does.
