LBI estate workers, who have started chores at Enmore, are now calling to be severed if proper conditions are not met.
The workers, who continued their ongoing protest outside the Ministry of Agriculture (MoA) yesterday, told Stabroek News that it did not make sense for them to stay on the job and said GuySuCo should pay them and let them go.
They tried to get Minister Noel Holder to listen to their concerns and to get GuySuCo to have dialogue with them, but they say to no avail so far.
The workers attended a meeting two weeks ago and the manager told them they cannot demand more money or request specific assignments. “They said we have to take what we get and that is not fair,” a worker noted.
Ramchand Thakur, a carpenter at the LBI estate, told this newspaper that GuySuCo’s management was talking about “cutting cost” but they were actually “building cost.” “It look like nobody in management is thinking first; they are doing and then thinking,” he added.
