    Is the strike over?

  • Carol Rodgers December 22, 2024, 7:29 PM

    Has this strike been resolved? Concerned over security issues. Thank you.

    Locals talk a lot but are afraid to face the fire

    When staff strike, shouldn’t management take up the slack? Not a good look

    Kudos to those workers who finally have the guts to stand up against modern day … and expose the people who are perpetuating it, but I would be pleasantly surprised if those who stood up are born Antiguans for they rarely stand up for anything.

    Why not hold the management and directors feet to the fire in letting the workers have to take action for better compensation. I’m pretty sure some guests were emphatic towards the plight of the workers. Even though there were instances of inconvenience. Workers have feelings too.

    Now this is ” Help yourself” personified. 😆

    I am sure the managers of the hotel allow it to escalate and not deal with the workers concern….people must stand up together… The resort prefer tourists than locals…
    Tourists get first preference….

    What there for them to do ? I mean all they can do is help them self these hotels need to start treating the staff fairly

    This is full refund and then some. I worked at chic and did a dbl sided bar alone most days, I don’t blame them. People pay hefty for trash service. I don’t blame them, get your money’s worth.

    Remember most of these hotels are all inclusive sooo mixing your own drinks could be somewhere in the clause read the fine print

  • Donna December 10, 2024, 6:02 PM

    Police would not touch those tourists. We the locals would more likely to be arrested if we do as the tourists did.

  • Job December 10, 2024, 5:19 PM

    Look police gonna lock up tourists lol

  • Devon Carter December 10, 2024, 4:41 PM

    Haha. “#1 Tourism Destination”. This must brings nothing but shame to these tourism members. This should be a shout to the Gaston Browne to speak to these hotel management.

  • Vanya December 10, 2024, 4:38 PM

    This is not good. So the guests just getting drunk and having fun? No staff no management. Life is sweet. Maybe I should just walk into the hotel. Nobody to check if I’m a guest ot not. Ha ha ha Merry Xmas
