Dear Editor,
May Day 2008, was a disgrace for the founder of the first Trade Union Movement in Guyana. Hubert N Critchlow was born in 1884. He saw that the workers were not receiving enough money for themselves and their families.
Many of them worked long hours and lived in cramped houses and others in a few rooms called logies. Most of them were very poor. Critchlow decided to form a trade union to allow workers to have a say in improving their working conditions, increasing their pay, having proper homes and medical attention.
