Point Village Hotel workers still jobless

More details could emerge on Thursday about the fate of more than 100 workers of the Point Village Hotel in Negril, Westmoreland who are yet to receive word on payments due to them since they were sent home earlier this year.

The workers, who had been laid off since May, turned up on Tuesday to resume their duties as planned but were reportedly refused entry to the premises and handed letters.  

RJR News was also told that the workers were not given redundancy letters, but were simply informed of an extension of the lay off period while the hotel works out its financial problems.

The hotel closed temporarily in May because of financial woes which have not yet been resolved.

Board members of the institution are expected to convene a meeting fro Thursday afternoon.

However, the situation has infuriated the employees who claim they were looking forward to resuming work in order to meet their back to school obligations.

The employees say they were unceremoniously dismissed and have failed in their quest to meet with the hotel's management.

They also say the manner in which they have been made redundant is underhanded and cruel.

According to the workers, no one is willing to speak to them about the matter.

They are asking for a concrete commitment from the management claiming it is unfair for them to be uncertain about their redundancy payments.
