GAWU welcomes pay rise, expects private sector to follow suit

The Guyana Agricultural and General Workers Union (GAWU)  yesterday expressed elation at the government’s decision this week to increase sugar workers’ pay rise by three per cent and the union also called on the Private Sector to increase their employees’ pay this year in similar vein.
