Managers of the Guyana Power and Light Inc. (GPL) took to the streets for the second day in a row yesterday to protest over the company’s “callous and slothful approach” to fulfilling promised allowances and an incremental increase that was agreed in principle during negotiations.
Dozens of junior and senior managers lined the Main Street avenue across from GPL’s main branch in Georgetown, with some holding placards declaring that “Mr. Bal must go,” which was a call for the removal of GPL’s Human Resource/Executive Director Bal Parsaud.
The Guyana Public Service Union (GPSU) is at odds with GPL’s executive over workers’ rights to access their 2016 allowances and their entitlement to an incremental increase.
