Sacked Forestry Commission workers to get benefits after union intervenes

Three former employees of the Guyana Forestry Commission (GFC), who were sacked late last month, are expected to be paid their full benefits.

This is according to the Guyana Agricultural and General Workers’ Union (GAWU), which said that the GFC agreed to pay the workers after the union intervened in the matter.

“Arising from the intervention of the Guyana Agricultural and General Workers Union (GAWU), three (3) employees of the Guyana Forestry Commission (GFC) who were terminated on June 30, 2021, are to uplift from the Commission payments representing their terminal benefits, notice pay, annual leave entitlements, leave passage allowance and travelling allowance,” GAWU said in a statement on Friday.
