ERMINE De Bique-Meade, president of the Contractors and General Workers Trade Union (CGWTU), led a small group of angry workers to the statutory meeting at City Hall, Harris Promenade, San Fernando on September 23 – around mid-morning – demanding answers regarding late salary payments.

De Bique-Meade said that for the past three fortnights, workers from the San Fernando City Corporation (SFCC) have faced delays in receiving their salaries.

By 4 pm on the same day, De Bique-Meade confirmed that the issue had been resolved, with the corporation receiving funds to be deposited into the bank accounts of an estimated 800 workers.
