Guymine Derecognises Bauxite Unions

By SHARIEF KHAN

 

THE backlash of the FITUG one-day protest last Friday is turning out to be furious and is intensifying the rift between government and the dissident seven-member trade union alliance. In a surprise development the Guyana Mining Enterprise (Guymine) has immediately de-recognised the two bauxite unions and terminated all relations because of what Guymine claims is a breach of commitment in calling out bauxite workers as part of the day of protest by the Federation of Independent Trade Unions of Guyana (FlTUG).
