ABWU Condemns Government’s “Sporadic and Fragmented” Payment Offers to Former LIAT 1974 Workers
The Antigua and Barbuda Workers’ Union (ABWU) has taken note of recent remarks by Prime Minister Gaston Browne regarding an additional tranche of funds being made available to former LIAT 1974 Ltd. workers under what has been described as a “compassionate offer.” While any financial relief to displaced workers may provide temporary assistance, the ABWU remains firm in its position that the former LIAT workers MUST NOT be deprived of their full severance entitlements. Severance is not a favour, nor should it be reduced to an act of charity. It is an earned entitlement arising from years of loyal service.
