The Guyana Agricultural & General Workers’ Union (GAWU) is disappointed that the Guyana Sugar Corporation (GuySuCo) would not be paying the Annual Production Incentive (API) to workers’ this year.
Head of GAWU, Komal Chand told the media last week that GuySuCo engaged them in a meeting, based on the union’s request, and “concluded their position to say that the answer finally is ‘we don’t have any increase to give you with respect to API this year’.”
At the meeting on Thursday, which lasted for a few hours, he said the union sought to have a day’s pay as API for every 2,500 tonnes of sugar.
