The National Workers Union NWU says it is displeased with information reaching the organization that suggests that some security service companies on the island continue to siphon huge chunks of their contractual financial earnings from Saint Lucia to overseas headquarters.
The union says all administrative and accounting operations are handled by overseas people and from the NWU’s experience when workers are short paid a long time elapses before any rectification occurs. The NWU says it will not stand by idly and allow Saint Lucian workers to be abused. The time has come for Government to move and slap a $300,000.00 operational license on some of these companies. A $100,000.00 bond should also be applicable as a retainer for a 4 year period.
