ST. GEORGE'S, Grenada: Air traffic
controllers at Grenada's sole international airport have taken industrial
action in the form of a sick out. According
to an insider all the workers who were scheduled to work on Monday sent in
sick leave. It is not clear what are the
issues involved but one insider stated that the workers are protesting the
failure of the Minister of Tourism, who also holds the aviation portfolio, to
deliver on promises made to them. The issue
on the number of working hours by the traffic controllers is also said to be a
contentious one. As to whether the protest
action will continue will depend on the kind of response the workers receive
from the government indicated one worker at the Point Saline's International
Airport. Grenada can lose millions of dollars
if this matter is not speedily resolved.
