It has been almost three years, and there has been little progress in addressing the overdue severance pay owed to former LIAT employees in Antigua.<\/p>

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

While counterparts in neighboring regions have received some compensation, these individuals remain excluded, with the government only offering 50 percent of the expected amount, as stated by Prime Minister Gaston Browne.<\/p>\n

David Massiah, the General Secretary of the Antigua Barbuda Workers Union, recently communicated that the situation remains unchanged. Former employees are still waiting for improved prospects.<\/p>

Massiah emphasized the lack of communication between the government and the union, despite their attempts to initiate a dialogue.<\/p>

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

Senator Massiah called for accountability, urging the Prime Minister and the LIAT administrator to provide a progress report. He noted that while some were initially willing to work with the Prime Minister, circumstances have changed.<\/p>\n

The union continues to push for a dialogue and explore all possible solutions.<\/p>
