General Secretary of the Guyana Trades Union Congress (GTUC) says a point has now been reached where “the excesses of the Russian management” in relation to its refusal to recognise and accept the right of the employees of the Bauxite Company of Guyana Inc (BCGI) to be affiliated to a trade union of their choice, has to be blamed on “the failure of the government to properly insert itself into a matter that has to do with the constitutional right of the citizens of the country.”
Seven years after the management of BCGI severed ties with the Guyana Bauxite and General Workers Union (GBGWU) word emerged earlier this week that the company had sought to press workers to endorse a document expressing their disinterest in being affiliated to the union.
