The Guyana Agricultural and General Workers Union (GAWU) is maintaining that the established process for employee promotion at the Blairmont sugar estate was not followed in the recent appointment of a former manager of Rose Hall Estate as an artisan.
“They (sugar workers) allege that the recently employed worker was given a promotion while other workers who have been in the estate’s employ for some time and have sought promotion are not being similarly treated,” the union had explained last week when protest action began at the estate.
The Guyana Sugar Corporation (GuySuCo) in turn noted that in light of the claim by the striking workers that some were overlooked for the position, management requested from the union a list of the names of those who claimed to be overlooked.
