00:00They contacted us saying that they need drivers, they need maxi-taxis to do a shuttle service from Speyside into
00:09Charlottesville with the Dutch Dive-In.
00:14And as a matter of fact, they gave us short notice.
00:18And they promised that, listen, as soon as the Dutch Dive-In transportation is finished, they're going to pay us
00:25within two weeks for the most.
00:28Mr. Washington said the situation is overbearing, as it is now over a month later, no payment, with drivers being
00:36given the runaround.
00:38Drivers worked from 8 a.m. shuttling patrons from Speyside to Charlottesville in Tobago until after midnight.
00:45Lo and behold, we've been waiting. Two weeks passed, no word. Three weeks, no word.
00:52We tried to contact them and we have not been getting any satisfactory answers at all.
00:57Another maxi-taxi driver, Herbert Taylor, said he was contacted by the Division of Tourism and asked that maxi-taxi
01:04drivers provide their services for the Dutch Dive-In event.
01:08That was done, but today drivers are still awaiting outstanding payments.
01:14I am bleeding. You can't tell me you want to walk me.
01:17You're going to pay me in two weeks and have me sit down and wait. Let me be real.
01:21UID court, they're so responsible for paying.
01:24Let me be real. When we're calling them, no answer.
