The St Lucia Employers Federation has denounced any such practices like the non payment of overtime. Executive Director of the Employers Federation, Joseph Alexander, categorically denies that any of the organization’s members engage in such practices.
Alexander says on the issue on non compliance with occupational health and safety standards, there is much work to be done. He concedes that there is widespread lack of knowledge and flagrant disregard for such a serious matter
As for whether employees have lost confidence in the Labor Department to effectively deal with their issues as suggested by the National Workers Union, Alexander says the government needs to step in to assess the functionality of the labor department.
