The president of SITTHUR expressed “deeply concerned” about the systematic delay in the payment of TACV workers’ salaries and considered “unacceptable” the silence of the company and the Government for the non-regularization of the situation for January.
Carlos Lopes announced this information in statements to Inforpress, when addressing the employment situation of the Cabo Verde Air Transport company (TACV) employees, analyzed by the direction of the Union for Industry, Transport, Telecommunications, Hospitality and Tourism (SITTHUR), during the meeting held last Saturday.
“This is an unsustainable situation and has been drastically and violently affected by the lives of workers and their families who are unable to meet their basic day-to-day needs, commitments to banks, etc. and, in particular, the situation of workers who have been transferred to Sal Island,” he said, indicating that both workers who are on lay off and those in work have not yet received the its salary.
According to him, the Union had already warned the Government that the non-renewal of the lay off scheme, which ended on December 31, would bring serious problems for the company and the need to regularize the payment of employees’ salaries, but stressed that it did not receive any answer from the executive.
