The National Association of Agricultural, Commercial and Industrial Employees (NAACIE) yesterday reiterated that it would take industrial action if demands for higher salaries for its members at the Guyana Power and Light Company (GPL) are not met by February 24.

“Our union has been instructed to battle for reasonable increased wages for our members and for the respect for our agreement by the GPL,” NAACIE President Kenneth Joseph said at a press conference.

On January 25, the union had written to Labour Minister Dr Nanda Kishore Gopaul.
