Unvaccinated workers at the Royal Princess Casino at South Park, San Fernando, are unsure about their employment status after they claim they were told to stay home next Monday, when the casino reopens.

A group of the unvaccinated workers protested on Friday morning in front of the casino.

A training supervisor for the past six years, Adanna Morgan has often trained the casino's new workers. But come Monday, Morgan isn't sure if she'll have a job herself.

She told Newsday, 'They told us they put out an ad in the newspaper to replace us, but you don't want to give people their holiday money and you don't want to give us a severance package for the years that we've worked with you.

Morgan claims that on September 30 the management told unvaccinated workers only vaccinated workers will be allowed into the casino on Monday.

At that point, the unvaccinated workers were given an ultimatum: get vaccinated or take an indefinite leave of absence.

Additionally, Morgan said no fixed grace period was given for the unvaccinated workers to get vaccinated.

She said these workers are now left in limbo as to their employment status.

She claims they were offered a $500 incentive to be vaccinated, but were told it would be paid six months after their second jab. No explanation was given as to the rationale behind the six-month payout delay.

According to Morgan, the casino employs 113 people, and to her knowledge, an estimated 80 per cent are unvaccinated.

Judica Bonaparte claims the management told her and other unvaccinated workers to speak to the Prime Minister when they asked about their future.

A tearful Bonaparte said, 'So I want to ask the Prime Minister when we could get our compensation money, because he (the manager) said to ask you.

'It's not just the five or ten of us here (in the protest), it have more than this who aren't vaccinated but they just couldn't make it today.

"I want someone to give us answers or something."

Even if she chooses to leave, Bonaparte said the casino's management haven't said she will receive a severance package.'

While Stacy Matthews is vaccinated, she will not be reporting to work on Monday, in a show of support for her unvaccinated colleagues. A slot supervisor at the casino for more than three years, Matthews disagrees with the management's position.

Matthews told Newsday, 'These staff are not vaccinated. Pay them off let them go their way.

'I am vaccinated because of my kids, but that doesn't mean because they are unvaccinated you'll treat them like this. I stand with my co-workers because too much of garbage goes on in this establishment. I not coming back here, because my kids are important.'

Matthews hopes Friday's protest moves themanagement at least to pay off the unvaccinated staff so they can seek employment elsewhere.

For some workers, the casino's vaccination position is the final straw in what they see as the poor conditions they've wor
