Air Traffic Controllers to Return to Normalcy Today

 

 

An emergency conciliation meeting was held today, Saturday, June 17, 2023 between the Jamaica Civil Aviation Authority and the Jamaica Air Traffic Controllers Association (JATCA) at the offices of the Ministry of Labour and Social Security, following reports of industrial action at the island’s airports.

The Ministry has confirmed that the Air Traffic Controllers will resume normalcy no later than 7:00 p.m. this evening and that the parties will return to local level discussions in respect of the compensation review.

The parties have agreed to return to the Ministry on Friday, June 23, 2023 if there is no progress at the local level.

Minister Pearnel Charles, Jr. thanks the parties for utilizing the platform of dialogue at the Ministry of Labour and Social Security and assures them that the Ministry remains committed to amicably resolving disputes in the national interest.
