The management of the state-run Guyana Oil Company (GUYOIL) and the Clerical and Commercial Workers’ Union (CCWU) have agreed to meet with a Labour Ministry mediator to resolve the dispute over a hike in wages and salaries for workers.
GUYOIL’s management held firm to its position of no increase and no bonus, while the CCWU has maintained its call for a previously agreed 8% increase based on an appraisal and 5% across the board.
Both sides agreed to a proposal by Minister of Labour Joseph Hamilton to defer until the first quarter of 2021 to allow for the union and GUYOIL’s management to meet with a mediator of the Ministry of Labour to further discuss the matter.
