BASSETERRE, St. Kitts - THURSDAY (Dec. 22), former workers of the now obsolete Clear Harbor, a call centre that was situated within proximity of the RLB International Airport were, finally given their outstanding dues.
Yesterday approximately 113 ex-workers gathered at the Labour Department to pick up their last cheques and finally put the events of that day behind them.
Apparently, the workers were paid some time before but after complaints were made about incorrect calculations, the matter was investigated and it was discovered that some persons were still owed a total of $125 000.
On March 30, 2011, the Company ceased operations without prior notice, leaving some 131 persons without an occupation.
