Hundreds of Guyana Oil Company (GUYOIL) workers took part in a countrywide sit-in on Wednesday after they were informed that they would not be receiving agreed increases in wages and salaries or bonus.
President of the Clerical and Commercial Workers’ Union (CCWU) Sherwood Clarke told Stabroek News that the industrial action was taken after management informed the workers of the decision.
Clarke explained that the CCWU, which represents supervisors, junior staff and security officers at the company, had submitted a proposal for negotiation on February 10th and negotiations commenced in July/August.
