The Guyana Agricultural and General Workers Union (GAWU) is mulling meeting with the main political parties that might be contesting general elections next year to ascertain their plans for the sugar industry so they can inform their members.
Both the union’s President Komal Chand and General Secretary Seepaul Narine made the pronouncement at GAWU’s end-of-year press conference on Friday.
“A major topic of discussion at this time, concerns the motion of no-confidence which was approved by the National Assembly on December 21. While we noted pronouncements by His Excellency President David Arthur Granger, among other government officials, that National and Regional Elections would be held in keeping with the constitutional requirements, we see too some persons offering differing views,” Narine said. He said that the union urges that the verdict of the motion be accepted and the requisite measures for elections be put in place.
