After Caribbean Airlines Limited's announcement last Friday that 379 employees would be retrenched, as part of restructuring, there are calls for the company to rethink its approach.
Instead of laying off workers, Peter Farmer, Secretary General of the Aviation, Communication and Allied Workers Union, said the airline must introduce innovations to its operations to be more profitable.
Mr. Farmer told Trinidad's Newsday newspaper that CAL seems to have been concentrating more on reducing the market rather than expanding the market, whereas other airlines have been expanding with the Caribbean.
In a statement on Friday, the airline announced 280 employees will be laid off and an additional 99 people put on temporary layoff.
