Guyana Power and Light Company (GPL) workers continued protesting for higher wages and while their union and the company’s management remained at an impasse over the demand, Bartica, Wakenaam and Leguan were all without power up to last night.

For the second day in a row, workers took to the streets as part of indefinite industrial action organised by the National Association of Agricultural, Commercial and Industrial Employees (NAACIE),
