June 27, 2007: THE VALLEY, Anguilla, A number of Indian migrant workers who have been on strike for the past two days for better working conditions have agreed to return to the project site following a full day of discussions between government officials, representatives of the workers, their employer Carillion Construction, legal and other community stakeholders.

The negotiations resulted in among other things an interim arrangement to facilitate a timetable for the resolution of their grievances.

The government of Anguilla has assured the workers that it is in full support of a fair and equitable settlement of their grievances in a timely manner.

The dispute had culminated into a peaceful demonstration in the Valley where the workers, with the support of local sympathizers, brought attention to their concerns with salary and working conditions.
