VIDEO: Public Works Management Meets to Resolve Payment Dispute Following Truckers’ Protest
Management at the Public Works Department is currently meeting to address and resolve a payment dispute that prompted a protest by truckers on Tuesday morning.
The demonstration resulted in government-owned trucks being used to block the access road leading to the Ministry of Works on Denry Lane, as contractors demanded payment for outstanding monies they say are owed for services rendered to the department.
When contacted by Antigua.news, officials at the Ministry confirmed that the matter is under active discussion at the management level.
Officials indicated that efforts are being made to clarify the issues surrounding the outstanding payments and reach a resolution with the affected truckers. Further details are expected once the meeting concludes.
