– Union vows to continue “struggle” for better conditions GAWU officials and sugar workers picketing the Ministry of Finance, Main Street, yesterday.Following a 3% salary increase awarded to sugar workers earlier this week by a government-ordered Arbitration Tribunal, the Guyana Agricultural and General Workers’ Union (GAWU) picketed the Ministry of Finance and vowed to continue the “struggle”.Stressing that the exercise is not to protest the award – which is legally binding – GAWU President,Air Max Shoes For Sale, Komal Chand, yesterday said that it was part of a “struggle” that the union will be engaged in to ensure workers are treated fairly.? Yesterday, a team from GAWU which was involved in the negotiations for the wage/salary increase met and it was decided to “commence a struggle”.According to Chand, the “struggle” will be for better pay and benefits; the payment of Annual Production Incentives (API); the implementation of the new pay rates and last, but by no means least, respect from the Guyana Sugar Corporation (GuySuCo).The union official again stressed that the increase was a mere “pittance” and to add insult to injury, the Arbitration Tribunal has given GuySuCo until March to give workers their retroactive salary.So far, since the award was announced on Tuesday, the union President said,NFL Jerseys China Online, GuySuCo has not made contact. “They ought to have spoken to us about when they hope to pay the new rates. Even though, the retroactive pay could be held back,Wholesale Stitched NFL Jerseys, we want to know.”“We will be holding a General Council meeting to discuss the award and other issues.”Earlier yesterday, the union in a press statement had indicated same.GAWU, the largest sugar workers’ union in the country, was harsh in its statement yesterday on GuySuCo.GAWU said that it is, along with the thousands of sugar workers it represents, “sadly disappointed at the award by the Gobind Ganga Arbitration Tribunal. The Tribunal, at a hurriedly summoned meeting on (Tuesday) 8th December, 2009, presented the report of the Tribunal to GAWU and GuySuCo…”The report recommended an across-the-board increase of 3 per cent for 2009, which should be paid no later than the end of March 2010.“Indeed, sad days are ahead for the thousands of toiling, productive sugar workers. The government-appointed Tribunal undoubtedly, in executing its special mandate, ignominiously transferred and embraced the three (3) per cent offer proposed by the GuySuCo originally.”GAWU,Wholesale NFL Jerseys, in its statement, sees this as an injustice of the highest order. “To add insult to injury to the poor sugar workers, the sugar bosses have been given until 31st March, 2010 to pay the pittance.”GAWU said that according to a source, public servants would be paid a five (5) per cent increase, retroactive to 1st January, 2009, and which “is currently being computed or has been computed awaiting the official announcement by the Government”.“Certainly the public servants deserve greater than five (5) per cent vis-?-vis the cost of living and the lowness of the wages and salaries of those at the bottom. Our solidarity is with them.”GAWU was of the opinion that “those who manage and those who give directions to the management of the sugar industry are poised to carry out more onslaughts on the workers. We understand that a “Specialist” who now manages the sugar industry intends to give workers no Annual Production Incentive (API) for 2009.”The union pointed out that even in the worst days of sugar production in 1990’s when production was a lowly 129,920 tonnes, five (5) days’ pay were awarded as Annual Production Incentive (API).“To cover up for management’s failure, the ground is being prepared for blame to fall on the union and the workers. GAWU condemns these acts of deception and provocation by the GuySuCo management.”GAWU had demanded 10 per cent, down from an original 15 per cent earlier this year, but GuySuCo had remained steadfast on its three per cent offer. In making its recommendations, the Tribunal said that it found that GuySuCo is “in a precarious financial situation with declining receipts from lower output and EU price cuts as well as an inability to borrow from the local banking system.”The Tribunal believed that the welfare of the employees depends on the viability of the Corporation and the latter should not be unduly burdened given its current financial situation of almost $13B indebtedness and the need to acquire resources (both capital and labour for the successful implementation of the turnaround plan).On October 29,Wholesale Jerseys Online, wages/salaries talks between GuySuCo and GAWU was declared deadlocked after the

“The only criminals that the police seem able to identify live either in Albouystown, Buxton or in the Ghetto where the black people live,” said City Mayor Hamilton Green yesterday.He made this comment during the municipal statutory meeting and expressed concern about the recent assault on Troy Small,China NFL Jerseys, called Cats, who was the first person to be identified as a suspect into the torching of the Ministry of Health’s main building at Brickdam.According to the Mayor,Cheap Jerseys From China, while Cats is not technically a member of the municipality, he is aware that the man has a physical and mental defect, hinting that the man could not have been involved in the criminal act.The Mayor, as a result, solicited the support of councillors yesterday to make a request for the Commissioner of Police or the Minister of Home Affairs to investigate the matter fully, even as he noted that Small was brutalised by some set of persons.“I don’t think that justice is being served.

But I don’t want to make any comments.’”According to Green, although it has been reported that the government is expected to get external help to investigate the fire,NFL Jerseys China, yet suspects are being picked up very capriciously.He noted though that he will speak more on the matter at another forum.Small was allegedly abducted by ranks of the Guyana Defence Force and with half of his body hanging out of a car,Cheap NFL Jerseys China, he was dragged for several miles from Mandela Avenue to Le Repentir Cemetery where he was beaten with a hammer.Since the incident was revealed by this newspaper, both the GDF and the Guyana Police Force have said little about the matter.However, some senior officials of the police force have laid the blame squarely at the feet of the GDF,China Jerseys Cheap, insisting that the army has no powers of arrest.Cabinet Secretary Dr. Roger Luncheon has since noted that the issue was raised at a very important meeting and he was assured that a report would be provided as to the details of the allegations and findings.
