Cane harvesters who were transferred from the Rose Hall Estate as a result of its closure are continuing to strike as they are refusing to return to work there without any sort of compensation which they believe they deserve at this stage for sticking with the industry.
The workers who went on strike on Wednesday morning and voiced their concerns as they gathered at the Canje Turn for the last three mornings decided yesterday to march from Canje to the New Amsterdam Freedom House where they stood for several hours refusing to leave before they met with an official.
Region Six Chairman, David Armogan eventually visited the location and met with the cane harvesters where he asked them about their issue. The chairman told the workers that he was there to listen to their grievance which he would then take to his “bosses” as he is in no position to make any decision concerning the matter.
