Dispute Antigua St John's - LIAT's management has said it will support efforts by the Ministry of Labour to resolve an emerging dispute with the Antigua and Barbuda Workers Union (ABWU) over the outsourcing of its Cargo and Quikpak operations in Antigua.

Corporate Communications Manager Desmond Brown said the company had willingly agreed to a request from the Ministry of Labour to meet with ABWU officials on Friday April 13 to discuss the matter.

He noted that this was a welcome development, and should provide comfort to the airline’s passengers that the matter was receiving attention at the highest levels ,and ensure that there was no disruption to the company’s operations.

Brown also pointed out that contrary to some media reports, Caribbean Airport Services (CAS), the handling company expected to take over aspects of LIAT’s handling services for Cargo and Quikpak in Antigua, is an Antigua-based company.

He noted that CAS, which is majority-owned by LIAT, already provides ground handling services for LIAT and was set up in 2002 to provide outsourced ground handling and other airport services to airlines operating at the VC Bird International Airport.

A few months ago AA was about to let go most of there employees but in a surprising move they retracted. Back then I told the employees not to sit lightly cause it's not over, now we here American eagle will be no more and I read this in the VI daily news sometime ago. Liat employees warning and take note everything that AA going through right now you will see it in the months or years to come, so do what you have to do now, cause restructuring never ends and the union will try but will eventually understand it's business.
