No Money, No Work
Workers of the licensed Shell dealer at Juliana Airport in St Maarten staged a "go-slow" this past Saturday for about one and a half hours during the height of the busiest weekend hours. The workers were upset about not being paid on time and stopped fueling aircraft. Apparently, First Caribbean Bank didn't process the workers' salaries until late Saturday morning rather than on Friday, as usual. Workers finally received their checks early Saturday evening. As a result of the "go-slow", Air France, arriving from Paris, diverted to Gaudeloupe to wait and refuel, if necessary. The plane finally landed in St Maarten three hours late. Three American Airlines flights (to Miami, JFK, and San Juan) were also delayed.
