Vice President Bharrat Jagdeo yesterday announced that sugar workers will now benefit from a seven percent salary increase which they are expected to receive before the end of the year.
“…..In April when I met with the sugar workers who were terminated I indicated that apart from that $250,000 grant…there would be a salary increase for the sugar workers this year. And, I promised at that time that whatever the public servants got the sugar workers would also get. And so we have decided that the 7 percent increase would also be awarded to the sugar workers,” Jagdeo disclosed yesterday during an interview with the state media.
