Believing that the new PPP/C-led government will not fully represent their interests in their longstanding dispute with the Bauxite Company of Guyana Inc (BCGI) over wages and salaries and working conditions, former employees of the Russian-owned firm have ended their protest and removed a barrier placed across the Berbice River.
General Secretary of the Guyana Bauxite and General Workers Union (GB&GWU) Lincoln Lewis told Sunday Stabroek that given the experience with past PPP/C-led administrations during 2009 to 2015, the sacked workers felt they should bring their industrial action to an end.
The former workers ended their riverfront struggle some two weeks ago.
