According to the aggrieved staff, they had wanted to create a scene at the FIB offices but the manager prevailed on them to exercise restraint. They further claimed that the Slok Air management is not allowing information to flow. "We should know whatever is going to happen," another worker said.
The staff further revealed that during a recent meeting with the Board of Directors, there was an uproar when the staff refused to accept the decision that Gambian staff be paid two months salary after their meeting.
When consulted, Senor Thomas, Managing Director of the ITC and a board member of Slok Air, declined to comment. However the Managing Director of Slok said that they were still carrying out restructuring at the company.
