Workers from the Albion and Blairmont estates in Berbice yesterday held protests calling on GuySuCo to resume negotiations on wages.
According to the union, GAWU, the sugar corporation had promised to provide a response to it by the ending of March but has failed to do so.
A statement from the Guyana Agricultural and General Workers Union (GAWU) yesterday said that “the workers are peeved that the sugar corporation has remained mum on the matter. They believe that the company is not treating the issue with the seriousness required. Workers have urged the Corporation to return to the negotiating table with a view to have the matters settled. They shared that they are not unmindful of the Corporation’s situation, but they said it appeared that the GuySuCo was neglectful of their plight.”
