Despite no progress in resolving the dispute between the Russian Aluminum (RUSAL) subsidiary Bauxite Company of Guyana Inc (BCGI) and its sacked workers, Social Protection Minister Amna Ally remains hopeful that the matter will be resolved soon.
Ally, in a telephone interview with Stabroek News yesterday, said that the Department of Labour is working to find a solution according to the law. She added that government’s position remains the same. Government has requested that the company reinstate all laid-off workers.
“There are rules and laws that govern how we treat foreign companies and we are going to use those laws to address this,” the minister said, while pointing out that the she is concerned over the livelihood of the sacked workers and their families.
