Prime Minister Dr Ralph Gonsalves have been asked to urgently intervene in Liat’s latest dispute with workers.
Liat’s acting CEO Julie Reifer-Jones has confirmed that she sent a letter to the Chairman of the shareholder governments, Dr Ralph Gonsalves
The dispute has arisen as the unions representing the staff said no to the company’s plan to pay salaries late because of its financial woes.
According to the Antigua observer, the unions have also threatened to take action if Liat goes ahead with the deferrals.
Shareholder governments have agreed to a meeting which should be held in Barbados sometime this week.
According to the CEO, the agenda for the meeting would be wide-ranging and would determine how Liat moves forward with the deferral of salaries.
The CEO, however, declined to say who would be at the talks according to the Antigua Observer.
