Still no severance for Bottlers St Vincent Ltd/Ju-C workers!

Fri, Jun 13, 2014

Editors: Approximately 65 workers, staff of the Bottlers St Vincent Ltd, are not only unemployed, but are still awaiting severance from the company after the closure in May 2011. The company, which was recently bought by local company ECGC of Campden Park, is making progress to recommence the local product which had made its name not only locally and regionally, but internationally as well.{{more}}

While this process is still in the re-construction phase, workers are being put off time and time again as liquidators/ receivers are toying with workers to pay them their severance. After their visit to St Vincent and the Grenadines on numerous occasions, including May 29, 2014, workers are still no closer to receiving their just pay package. The Commercial Technical & Allied Workers Union (CTAWU) Mr Burns Bonadie, who is representing the workers, does not seem to have any information as to the status of severance for its workers. At the last meeting with the Union (CTAWU), the liquidators presented the severance pay package which was not according to the Union Laws or the Labour Department Laws of St Vincent and the Grenadines. Workers need to know when they should be expecting their severance package. Concerned workers are appealing to the authorities to step in on their behalf.
