No agreement yet on reopening of resort

~ Meeting among parties likely today~

PELICAN--Up to late Friday there was no word on whether an agreement had been reached for the reopening of the Simpson Bay Resort and the Villas at Simpson Bay.

However, The Daily Herald understands that a meeting is being arranged among all parties for today, Saturday.

Up to early Friday evening attorney for the Workers Institute for Organised Labour (WIFOL), Maarten le Poole of HBN Law said he hadn't been contacted about a time and a venue for the meeting.

Le Poole said talks for the reopening of the resort have been "dragging on" for too long now, but he is hopeful that an agreement would be reached today, should the meeting among the parties proceed.

"It's dragging on long unnecessarily and if there is no [end] to it now nothing will come of it. Tomorrow [today] is the last possibility," Le Poole said.

The Simpson Bay Resort and the Villas at Simpson Bay were closed on Sunday, February 20 leaving the close to 200 workers and thousands of timeshare owners in limbo. The closure was announced days after the court had ruled that the resort has to live up to the terms of the Collective Labour Agreement (CLA) in place with WIFOL. A pronouncement was not made on the reintegration of the workers.

Special mediator Rafael Boasman has been mediating between parties with a view of having the resort re-opened.
