The Fiji Trades Union Congress has condemned the decision of the Board of Air Terminal Services to terminate the contracts of its employees.

National Secretary, Felix Anthony says he had expected the ATS management would have accepted the offer made by the Federated Airlines Staff Association that workers were prepared to work for free until the situation improves.

Anthony says the ATS Management has rejected this proposal and claims that the contracts cannot be fulfilled.

Anthony says these ATS workers are partial owners of ATS and they do not deserve this treatment.

Anthony also claims that in these difficult times a brand-new Prado has been bought for the Acting CEO.

Anthony is calling on the government to explain its position in the termination of workers at Fiji Airways and now at ATS.

Acting ATS CEO, Hare Mani is expected to comment later.
