Viceroy Workers Stage Protest

Anguilla received some unwanted press in the end of June when 200 migrant workers protested their treatment by the Viceroy Resorts and Residences and Carillion Construction (West Indies) Ltd (the contractor for the Viceroy project) for whom they are working. They protested they are being only paid 1/2 of the amount they were told they would receive and complained about poor living, food and health conditions. Anguillians lined up and marched with these Indian workers in a sign of solidarity. Unfortunately initial talks broke down.

Afer the Indian workers protested and staged a march the second time the Carillion Construction (West Indies) Ltd agreed to the pay increases.
