The Guyana Bauxite and General Workers Union (GB&GWU) has once again found itself at an impasse with the Bauxite Company of Guyana Inc (BCGI) after the union rejected a proposed wage increase of 4.5 percent.
This was revealed to Stabroek News yesterday by General Secretary of the union, Lincoln Lewis who explained that the decision was made following a meeting with the company on Monday.
Lewis said that BCGI, which is owned by Russian company, RUSAL, had sent them a letter on August 20, setting out their proposal for a 4.5 percent increase for 2019, which he said they did not accept.
