President David Granger yesterday promised former guards in Berbice, who were laid off by a private security firm, that he would seek to resolve their dispute with the company, which they say has not paid salaries since last December.

A press release from the Ministry of the Presidency said President Granger met with the group of former guards at New Amsterdam, where they explained their plight.
