The National Union of Public Workers is hopeful that Government will soon deliver financial relief for former LIAT workers who are yet to receive their severance pay.<\/p>

President Akanni McDowall told the\u00a0DAILY NATION<\/strong>\u00a0yesterday that it had appeared as though Government intended to address the issue but he was not sure when.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

\u201cWe were supposed to have a meeting with the Ministry of Tourism about three weeks ago and we were waiting for a new date, but we did not hear back from anyone as yet.<\/p>

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

\u201cThe main issue we will discuss is severance or some type of severance payment. We all understand that the workers are entitled to severance, and how they are to receive that payment is the matter that needs to be discussed,\u201d he said.<\/p>

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

\u201cWe don\u2019t really have any information on what the Government proposal is going to be in relation to compensation. Once we are able to meet, Government would tell us how they are going to bring some measure of relief to those workers.\u201d<\/p>\n
