Daniel Stephen,Cheap Football Jerseys, a tractor operator in the Cane Transport Department, employed at Skeldon Estate, who was controversially dismissed more than a year ago, has been reinstated.Back at work: Daniel StephenAccording to the Guyana Agricultural and General Workers’ Union (GAWU), Stephen will be compensated for his lost wages with approximately seven months’ pay of the 14-month period he was off the job. He was dismissed on September 19, 2014, with his reinstatement effective last Monday.Announcing his reinstatement, GAWU said that Stephen’s dismissal by the then Estate Manager, Devendra Kumar, evoked the wrath of his fellow factory and field workers who resorted to strike action spontaneously for a few days.“Workers from Albion and Rose Hall Estates on two separate days struck in a show of solidarity with Stephen.

The dispute next became subject to arbitration proceedings. The sole Arbitrator, Mohamed Akeel, former Chief Labour Officer, out of the blue, after two sittings lasting about two hours each, ruled that Stephen remains dismissed. The ruling astounded the union, the aggrieved, and the union’s Attorney-at-Law,Wholesale Jerseys, Mr Roysdale Forde.”The union said that Akeel did not hear arguments from the union nor GuySuCo.“The union at the two short sittings was arguing that GuySuCo breached its own Disciplinary Code and Procedures.

Ian Chang set aside Akeel’s ruling.”Akeel, GAWU claimed yesterday, is reported to have conducted another arbitration exercise without its participation and that of the Secretary of the Tribunal.“Thereafter,Cheap Nike NFL Jerseys, against the changes in the management of the GuySuCo and a new Government following the May 11, 2015 elections, the union followed its representation to have Daniel Stephen reinstated in his job.
