Get the Apps Labour minister says aggrieved hotel workers will get their missing severance
Article by May 15, 2021
Frustrated former hotel workers, including those from the Accra Beach Hotel and Spa, have been given the assurance that they will receive outstanding severance despite continuous broken promises from their previous employer.
Minister of Labour and Social Partnership Relations Colin Jordan was responding to a fresh round of protests involving severed Accra Beach employees and those from the Hilton Barbados Resort, who were left on the breadline in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic.
After loud protests last December, the former Accra staff secured over 70 per cent of their outstanding pay with a promise from management, backed by tourism minister Senator Lisa Cummins that the remaining monies, including payment in lieu of notice, would be delivered no later than the 31st of March.

Opposition Leader Bishop Joseph Atherley has called on Minister of Labour and Social Partnership Relations Colin Jordan to address claims of workers’ exploitation and complaints regarding some employers’ challenge to workers’ right to join a trade union.
These were among several areas of concern raised on the second day of debate of the 2021-2022 Estimates of Revenue and Expenditure, when Jordan and his team from the Ministry of Labour were called upon to defend the Ministry’s stewardship and explain how the allocation of $7.2 million in the Estimates would be spent.
Minister of Education Santia Bradshaw asked Jordan for an update on the National First Job Initiative programme which was designed to enable young people to get into the labour market, while St George North MP and general secretary of the Barbados Workers Union Toni Moore quizzed the Minister of Labour Minister about progress on the minimum wage proposals.
