The main sugar union, GAWU says that a banner hung on its High Street, Kingston fence was vandalised yesterday morning.
The union said the banner reading “Did you know? Estate closure and sellout means an uncertain future for thousands of youths!” was mounted on the fence of the Head Office of the Guyana Agricultural and General Workers Union (GAWU) at High Street and Wights Lane. It was vandalised around 1 yesterday morning. The union said that the banner was on the fence for less than twenty-four hours having replaced another banner which read:- “Did you know? Govt sugar plans will see 50,000 people pushed into poverty!” which was displayed for about two weeks.
The union said its night guard reported that about six men, seemingly youths, appeared suddenly and ripped the banner and took the cloth with them as they walked along the pavement towards the Umana Yana.
