Government outlines plans for concerned clean-up workers

The contracts of nearly 2 000 workers who found employment as part of a National Clean-up Programme almost two years ago will come to an end on March 31 and the news has left many of them worried about how they will support themselves and their families.
Despite assurances from Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Transport, Works and Water Resources Santia Bradshaw that a plan is in place that could help them find future work, some have expressed concern they may remain among the unemployed.
The workers were initially employed to assist with cleaning up the ash that blanketed the country following eruptions at the La Soufriere volcano in neighbouring St Vincent and the Grenadines in April 2021.
