Staff of the collapsed Golden Key Credit Card company (GK) are considering legal action against the company, according to some GK staff.
"We are getting legal opinion as to what to do, because currently we do not have a manager or a director and there is no response from the Chairman's (Lalith Kotelawala's) office," a member of the staff told The Sunday Times.
He said though every day 400 staff members come to work, just 10 % are actually working. He said there are customer calls, and only some calls are answered.
He said the staff was told by the company deputy chairman Nihal Peiris that they will not lose their benefits or jobs.
"Subsequently Rohan Senanayake, Nihal Peiris and Ranga Gunewardena (all deputy chairmen of companies in the GK Group) said they will be transferred to other firms in the group, but the staff did not agree," he said.
He said the staff had requested a meeting with Mr. Kotelawala, but did not get one. On January 2, the staff had lodged a complaint at the Bambalapitiya Police Station with regard to an issue over their vehicles which the company wanted back. The Sunday Times was not able to contact the GK management or Mr. Kotelawala despite numerous attempts. (DEC) |
