Power company ups pay hike offer after transmission and distribution workers down tools

The workers on the avenue of Main Street yesterday in front of the GPL Office.

The Guyana Power and Light Company (GPL) yesterday said it was prepared to improve its pay hike offer after scores of workers from the Guyana Power and Light Company’s (GPL) Transmission and Distribution (T&D) Department down-ed tools and gathered outside the power company’s Main Street office yesterday to protest what they said was an unfair pay increase proposal.

More than 30 workers who are represented by the National Association of Agricultural, Commercial & Industrial Employees (NAACIE) gathered and voiced their discontent with the management of the company.
