Harold Lovell is condemning the Government\u2019s treatment of the former LIAT workers, and says his Party has found an investor willing to shoulder some responsibility for their severance payments.<\/p>

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

The ex-employees and the Government have been at loggerheads over such payments, which remain outstanding more than a year after they were sent home.<\/p>\n

Recently, Prime Minister Gaston Browne and Minister Lennox Weston gave the workers and their unions until the end of December to accept a 50 percent non-negotiable offer that includes cash, bonds, lands and scholarships tenable at The UWI \u2013 Five Islands.<\/p>

However, Lovell says the Browne Administration is on the wrong track with its approach to the LIAT-severance issue.<\/p>

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

Lovell says he has given a commitment that a United Progressive Party Administration \u201cwill have a totally different approach.\u201d \u00a0To this end, he says a proper discussion with the parties is key.<\/p>\n

During a Trade and Investment Mission to Panama, Lovell says a potential investor expressed an interest in LIAT and in helping to pay a significant portion of the severance monies.\u00a0\u2014 REAL NEWS<\/em><\/p>
