While they continue to try to find new jobs, some former Barama workers believe that the company could have given them more notice before retrenching them.
Lionel Ramkissoon, a former supervisor, told Stabroek News that the only problem he had with the retrenching was the short notice.
“They give you a letter and told you that you coming off at X time and then they give you the one month severance and that was it,” the man pointed out, while explaining that prior to him being laid off on August 11, he was given notice just a mere week before.
He said the company had a meeting some months before but never mentioned anything about laying workers off.
