CARIBBEAN ROUNDUP
are entitled to six weeks’ notice and
about Aug. 28 for a few workers who
had joined in 2014 and would only be
entitled to four weeks’
notice pay, according to
the Jamaica Observer.
The airline has
advised that employees
who are scheduled to be retrenched
will not be required to work during the
notice period.
In June CAL announced that it proposed
to retrench 450 employees, but
in a statement on July 30, it revised
that number to 280.
The government of Jamaica owns 16
percent of CAL and the Government of
T&T, 84 percent.
ST. VINCENT
Heavily armed police officers were
stationed outside the Kingston Magistrate
Court as Annamy
Lewis, a 56-year-old vendor,
of Layou, appeared
in court charged with
wounding Prime Minister,
Dr. Ralph Gonsalves.
Gonsalves suffered a concussion
when he was struck on the head with
an object outside Parliament a week
ago during a protest against moves by
his government to have front line workers
vaccinated against the COVID-19
pandemic.
When the matter was called before
Senior Magistrate Rickie Burnett,
the accused pleaded not guilty to the
charge that on Aug. 5, at Kingston she
unlawfully and maliciously wounded
Gonsalves.
Her attorneys, led by Kay Bacchus-
Baptiste, requested bail telling the
court that the prosecution had no
objection to take bail with one surety.
DPP Sejilla Mc Dowell confirmed
she had no objection to bail and the
magistrate set bail at EC$3,000 and
adjourned the matter to Sept. 15.
TRINIDAD
Trinidad and Tobago last week
received a first batch of more than
300,000 vaccines donated by the United
States.
The vaccine is part of
a donation of 908,000
doses of the Pfizer
COVID-19 vaccine by
the US.
The US embassy in Port of Spain
made the announcement, saying the
donation is free of charge with “no
strings attached.”
“We are proud, in co-ordination with
CARICOM, to deliver these safe and
effective vaccines to the people of Trinidad
and Tobago. We are giving them for
a single purpose to save lives and end
the pandemic.”
