While welcoming the partial resumption of operations at the Skeldon and East Demerara estates, the Guyana Agricultural and General Workers Union (GAWU) yesterday voiced concern about the absence of similar plans for the Rose Hall estate.
A statement from the union yesterday said the news that the Skeldon and East Demerara estates were reopening was a “ray of sunshine between dark clouds” hovering over workers since the estates were closed.
“This was a matter we strongly stressed during our engagement with the Administration on January 19, 2018 and we are heartened that it has accepted our suggestion, obviously recognizing their grave misstep, and decided to resume operations at the estates in question,” the statement noted.
