As the time draws nearer for the LBI estate to “merge” with the Enmore facility, workers staged a picketing exercise yesterday in front of the GuySuCo’s head office at Ogle, East Coast Demerara.

About 70 workers assembled at the headquarters around 7:30 am and remained there until 10 am. They plan to continue protesting every week.

They shouted, “We don’t want any merging. We want to remain as LBI workers.” They told this newspaper that they would not enjoy the same conditions at Enmore and that they would be making less money.
