…after GuySuCo withdraws day pay Yet another strike has crippled the sugar industry, as almost 3,000 workers from the Rose Hall estate withdrew their labour.The workers resorted to strike action on Sunday when the Guyana Sugar Corporation Inc. (GuySuCo) withdrew a day’s pay earned by the workers for not producing sugar to meet the week’s Weekly Production Incentive (WPI) target of 1,350 tonnes.However, late yesterday afternoon, GuySuCo decided to pay the workers. When contacted yesterday, Chief Executive Officer of GuySuCo, Errol Hanoman told Kaieteur News that the sugar company had investigated the matter, as the technical team, comprising of auditors had to check the figures to verify whether or not the workers met the WPI.Hanoman said there is a view that the WPI was not met by the workers, but the figures indicated differently,Cheap Jerseys From China, and thus workers were paid.“We don’t want to rush and pay and then a mistake is made at a cost of $6 million,” Hanoman said.The Guyana Agricultural and General Workers Union (GAWU) in a press statement issued yesterday stated that the workforce was astonished when they learnt of GuySuCo’s decision.GAWU was very disappointed with the initial decision by GuySuCo in the first instance.“Often workers are criticised for resorting to industrial action.
