Wescot Williams said the draft agreement was sent to both parties which are the WIFOL union and the owners of the Resort. She said she is expecting an answer from parties so that the resort will reopen for business. The Prime Minister is hopeful that the matter regarding Pelican will be resolved before she leaves the island on Thursday.
SMN News has been reliably informed that the lawyers representing Simpson Bay Management Resort already made their comments on the draft proposal while the lawyers representing WIFOL is busy commenting on the proposal.
It is further understood that the 182 workers represented by WIFOL will return to work temporarily if a deal is brokered. Sources say the owners of Pelican are safeguarding themselves as they have appealed the verdict handed down against them.
So far parties have agreed to keep the contents of government's proposal out of the media until all efforts are exhausted.
