Even as Russian bauxite company, RUSAL appears to have struck a posture consistent with its recent signal that it may be pulling out of the contractual arrangement with the Government of Guyana through what has been reported as their recent strategic shifting of equipment, General Secretary of the Guyana Trades Union Congress (GTUC) Lincoln Lewis has told Stabroek Business that he is “still not as convinced as RUSAL wants us to believe” that their departure is imminent.
“Certainly, bauxite mining operations are still going on and the RUSAL managers still appear very much engaged in wages discussions even though they remain bent on getting their own way,” Lewis said.
