December 11, 2020 Former workers at the Savannah Hotel should soon be paid their severance, Prime Minister Mia Mottley revealed Thursday. She said while there were some “complications” at the hotel, she expected the severed workers to be paid by owner Bernie Weatherhead. Just last week, the famed South Coast hotel’s ex-employees joined forces with fellow severed employees of Accra Beach Hotel and Spa and Hilton Barbados Resort to protest thousands of unpaid to them. She told journalists at Ilaro Court: “We are working and I believe those at Savannah and the Ministry of Tourism have been meeting and I hope that Mr Weatherhead speaks to the country if he has not already done so today, but he needs to speak to the country and to the workers and to contextualize his position.
