Linden call centre Toucan Connec-tions Incorporated shut its doors last Friday and sent home 83 workers without paying severance, sparking anger in the mining town.
The situation attracted the attention of Minister in the Ministry of Social Protection Simona Broomes who led a team on Wednesday to Linden to meet with officials and staff of the centre. Toucan had been one of Linden’s major employers.
GINA said yesterday that Broomes advised the company that it has to pay severance.
