Good news for hundreds of Emperor Gold Mine workers who were made redundant in 2006 as they will now be paid for the pending redundancy payments.
This comes after the Fiji Court of Appeal in a unanimous decision, ruled out the appeal against an earlier decision of the High Court, upholding the awards of the Emperor Tribunal.
General Secretary of the Communications, Mining and General Workers Union, Attar Singh said some workers have left the country and some have passed away, but their families who are the beneficiaries will receive the money.
Meanwhile a branch meeting will be held at Tavua Club this Saturday on the details of the payment.
