With no payouts in sight…Ex-Tower Hotel workers eager for court ruling on owed wages

After almost a year there is still no light at the end of the tunnel for former Hotel Tower workers who are seeking wages that are owed to them but they hope that a pending court action could protect their claims.

“I applied to the Marriott (Hotel) and hoping I’ll get to catch meh hand there ’cause it aint look like this money coming anytime soon,” a former employee of the hotel told Stabroek News on Thursday.

Some 67 workers are owed a total of $5,577,633 in wages, salaries and other benefits since last year May, when the hotel abruptly closed.
