nhartnell@tribunemedia.net A former hotel union presidential candidate yesterday alleged he was "singled out and targeted" for termination by Atlantis just one day after the resort re-opened to much jubilation and fanfare. Dave Beckford, a 25-year veteran of the Paradise Island mega resort's landscaping department, told Tribune Business that hotel executives provided no explanation to justify his release after summoning him to a meeting on Friday morning. They simply gave him a cheque for all severance pay and benefits due to him, with Mr Beckford voicing fears that he was being "labelled as a trouble maker and anti-management which is not the case".
