Successor TACV does not honor commitments: Cabo Verde Airlines employees spend Christmas without receiving salary

The successor of the defunct TACV is at fault with its employees. It's just that Cabo Verde Airlines (CVI) employees still haven't received their December salary and don't have any information about when it will be processed, running the risk of spending the entire festive season without money.

A company source confided to Inforpress that it is the first time, in the entire history of the Cape Verdean airline, that the company's employees spend Christmas without money, and there is still a risk of reaching the end of the year without the salary being paid. paid out.

More than not receiving the money, employees also complain about not having received any communication from the administration or management, which they consider a “lack of respect” towards those who struggle daily to keep the company running.

“Before, when wages were late, they sent a message, warning and explaining the situation. This time, there was no communication,” he said.

The same source dismisses the possibility that the company is experiencing financial problems, since, as indicated, the company has been making a profit and has even paid compensation due to workers who left the company.

“We who are here working have not yet been paid. We spent Christmas broke. During the festive season, all institutions pay the salary earlier than usual, so that people can have the possibility to celebrate with their family. And even worse, we don't know if we'll receive it before the end of the year”, said the source from Inforpress, who speaks of “negligence and lack of sensitivity and respect” on the part of the administration.

As he indicated, Cabo Verde Airlines has been paying salaries “whenever they want” and with successive delays.

“The November salary, for example, was only deposited on the 8th of December, leaving workers in default of their commitments”, he lamented.

Since March of this year, Cabo Verde Airlines has a new owner and new management. The Government sold 51% of the capital of Lofleidir Cabo Verde, a company owned 70% by Loftleidir Icelandic EHF and 30% by Icelandic businessmen.

Inforpress tried to listen to the company's management, but without success, concludes the same news agency.
