ABWU says Diminished Severance for LIAT Workers is an Insult and Violation of their Rights

The Browne Administration’s latest attempt to impose on the workers of Liat 1974 Ltd a significantly reduced severance settlement of 32% is a stark betrayal of its proclaimed commitment to workers as a so-called “labour” government. If this Government truly valued the contribution of Liat workers to the country and to regional aviation it would have ensured that at the very least, Antiguan workers receive 100% of their severance.
