Another 103 employees of the collapsed regional airline LIAT are to be terminated.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

This has been revealed by Cleveland Seaforth, the Antigua and Barbuda court-approved Administrator of the company in a letter dated January 22, 2021 and addressed to Prime Minister Mia Mottley and eight other Caribbean Community (CARICOM) Heads of Government in which he warned the CARICOM counterparts that they could be exposed legally unless some effort was made to pay the affected workers.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

However, Prime Minister Mottley told\u00a0Barbados TODAY<\/strong>\u00a0tonight she had not yet seen the letter and would not comment until she had seen it.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

In that letter \u2013 a copy of which has been obtained by\u00a0Barbados TODAY<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Seaforth even placed Mottley and the other Heads on notice of possible legal action that could be taken against them with regards to their financial obligations to the LIAT employees.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

Seaforth, who is charged with administering the affairs of the company during its current restructuring process urged Mottley to assist in paying the EC$79 million in severance owed to the 564 workers already put on the breadline.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo date, 564 employees have been terminated and as the restructuring process is completed, the remaining 103 employees will also be terminated,\u201d the administrator told the regional leaders including Antigua and Barbuda\u2019s Gaston Browne, Trinidad and Tobago\u2019s Dr Keith Rowley, Dr Ralph Gonsalves of St Vincent and the Grenadines and Dominica\u2019s Roosevelt Skerrit.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

He disclosed that as at April 30, 2020, the total unpaid entitlements to employees across the region amounted to EC$119,006, 962.<\/p>\n

\u201cOf this amount, EC$79,011,337 is in respect of the employees\u2019 legal severance entitlements,\u201d the letter stated.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

Seaforth, whose letter also went to Guyana\u2019s President Mohamed Irfaan Ali, Grenada\u2019s Prime Minister Dr Keith Mitchell, St Kitts and Nevis\u2019 leader Dr Timothy Harris and his St Lucian counterpart Allen Chastenet, said that based on preliminary estimates, it is higly unlikely that any significant portion of the employees\u2019 severance would potentially come from the sale of the LIAT estate upon eventual liquidation.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

\u201cAgainst the backdrop as noted above, the purpose of my letter is to make an appeal to the respective governments for consideration to be given to the payment of employees\u2019 severance entitlements of approximately EC$79 million,\u201d the LIAT administrator wrote.<\/p>\n

The airline official then sought to make out a \u201cstrong\u201d case for the hundreds of \u201csuffering\u201d workers from Barbados and other Caribbean territories to be paid their outstanding monies without further delay.<\/p>\n

Seaforth termed as most unfortunate the fact that the workers were unlikely to receive any meaningful compensation from the sale of the LIAT estate.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is most unfortunate, as over the years, notwithstanding the continued financial ill-health of the company, the employees committed themselves and continued to provide service to the company,\u201d the court-sanctioned official declared.<\/p>\n

He contended that the staff continued to serve the airline in spite of those circumstances because they firmly believed they would not have experienced any hardship since LIAT was owned by regional governments.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere was the expectation that the company would never be abandoned by the respective governments,\u201d Seaforth argued.<\/p>\n

\u201cDespite the known insolvent position of the company, the employees relied on the undertaking of the respective governments\u2019 Letters of Comfort to the company\u2019s auditor to provide financial support for the continued operations of the company.\u201d<\/p>\n

He continued: \u201cThe letters of support as issued by the respective governments do [sic] in fact create a litigation exposure for the governments.\u201d<\/p>\n

The administrator also told the Barbados Prime Minister and her regional counterparts that the employees saw themselves as working for a state-owned entity which was engaged in fostering Caribbean integration and as such, the notion of them being quasi-government civil servants, was foremost in their minds.<\/p>\n

He said that based on his discussions with the unions in the various territories, it was \u201cclearly\u201d evident that both the current and former employees are experiencing severe financial hardship and a high level of disappointment and disillusionment in what is perceived as a lack of support from the respective governments.<\/p>\n

He lamented that their situation was made even worse by the impact of COVID-19 because of the inability of workers to find alternative sources of employment due to the economic downturn.<\/p>\n

Seaforth said that apart from any possible severance which may come from the LIAT estate, the Antigua and Barbuda Government has indicated it is prepared to offer the staff up to a maximum of 50 per cent of their severance either by cash, land or government bonds or a combination of the three.<\/p>\n

\u201cAgainst the initiative being contemplated by the Antigua and Barbuda government, I write to inquire if such an approach can be considered by other governments within the region and whether each government would be prepared to engage in dialogue on this matter with the government of Antigua and Barbuda,\u201d he asked.<\/p>\n

He welcomed the opportunity to further discuss the issue with the governments as a group or individually in an effort to chart a way forward for the employees to receive \u201csome form of compensation\u201d for their legal severance entitlement.<\/p>\n

Seaforth informed the CARICOM leaders he had copied the letter to Secretary General of CARICOM Ambassador Irwin LaRocque with the expectation that a regional approach could be pursued in this matter, if considered appropriate. He said he is hoping a meeting could be convened to thrash out this issue.<\/p>\n
