Sugar workers along with officials of the Guyana Agricultural and General Workers Union (GAWU) yesterday picketed the Ministry of the Presidency over wages and salaries.

A statement from GAWU said that the  picketing is part of an exercise which is taking place across the sugar industry outside the Administrative Offices of the various Estates decrying  the Guyana Sugar Corporation Inc’s (GuySuCo) “harsh stance of constricting workers’ wages and salary to 2014 levels”.
