The government’s White Paper on sugar which entails the closing of the Rose Hall Estate factory saw hundreds of workers turning out again in protest yesterday.
Workers downed tools and marched through the Canje area in protest at the plan which was presented to parliament on Monday. The workers marched from the Rose Hall Estate to the Canje turn with placards in their hands shouting, “Estate must stay open”, along with other slogans, calling on President David Granger to review the planned closure.
Guyana Agricultural and General Workers Union, General Secretary, Seepaul Narine told Stabroek News that the protest shows the government clearly how the workers feel about the planned closure.
