In order to ascertain whether the GB&GWU or the GLU represents the workers from Barama Company Limited (BCL), a meeting is set for tomorrow with the company and the Ministry of Social Protection.
After the company had announced that it would be laying off more workers, in addition to the 180 who were previously retrenched, the Ministry of Social Protection’s Department of Labour, had invited the company along with the Guyana Labour Union (GLU) to a meeting. However, the company had earlier reported to Stabroek News that the GLU had not represented the workers since 2010 and the Guyana Bauxite and General Workers Union (GB&GWU) had taken over representation since the beginning of the year.
