GPL warns union of staff redundancies after restructuring

Kenneth Joseph

The Guyana Power and Light Inc (GPL) has put the National Association of Agricultural, Commercial and Industrial Employees (NAACIE) on notice that workers represented by the union are likely to be affected and made redundant during plans to restructure the company later this year.

NAACIE General Secretary Kenneth Joseph yesterday told Stabroek News that the company received correspondence from GPL, dated April 24, about its intention to restructure.

Joseph said that although it was not explicitly stated, he fears the notice indicated the company’s likely intention to lay off workers represented by NAACIE.
