Former employees of the defunct regional airline LIAT (1974) Ltd. have voiced their frustration over the lack of progress in securing their severance payments. The workers, who lost their jobs when the airline collapsed in 2020 amid the COVID-19 pandemic, accuse the government of St. Vincent and the Grenadines of ignoring their plight. In a recent statement, they expressed deep disappointment with Prime Minister Dr. Ralph Gonsalves and Finance Minister Camilo Gonsalves for their handling of the matter. The workers highlighted their repeated attempts to engage with the government through formal letters, phone calls, and meetings, all of which have yielded no satisfactory resolution. Despite submitting a revised proposal in 2023, which included significant concessions on their part, the workers claim they have received no substantive feedback. The situation has left many in dire financial straits, with some losing their homes to foreclosure and others forced to migrate in search of work. The workers have called for a renewed commitment to human values and a more empathetic approach to labor issues, warning that the current treatment of workers is morally corrosive and undermines collective humanity.
