Ex-Fly Jamaica workers still awaiting word from Labour Dep’t on payment of wages

After meeting with the Labour Department just over a month ago, former Fly Jamaica workers remain concerned about the lack of progress in getting them paid monies owed to them by the now decertified airline.

On June 11th, over 50 of the airline’s former workers met with Labour Advisor Francis Carryl, a labour officer and a lawyer at the Department of Labour of the Ministry of Social Protection on Brickdam, in Georgetown, after being called for a meeting due to the non-payment of outstanding wages.

Despite spending more than an hour in the meeting, many of the workers were not satisfied with the outcome as the only conclusion that was made was for them to return during the following week to give written statements.
