Up to GuySuCo management to decide on sugar workers’ pay increase

Dominic Gaskin

Government cannot be blamed for the Guyana Sugar Corporation (GuySuCo) workers not receiving wage increases, Alliance For Changce (AFC) Treasurer Dominic Gaskin said yesterday.

“GuySuCo is governed by a board of directors and if that Board of Directors decided that they can give a raise in pay that is entirely within their remit to do so. I don’t think you can blame the government if the Board of Directors does not see it fit to give their workers a raise…,” Gaskin said.

The Board of Directors of the state-owned sugar company is appointed by the government.
