Berbice Bridge Company Inc. (BBCI) workers staged a protest yesterday morning for safety gear following the refusal by management to replace equipment damaged on the job.
The workers also called for pay hikes, which they said they have been pleading for over the course of several years.
The workers, who gathered infront of the BBCI office on the West Coast of Berbice side of the bridge, related that their manager said they had already received their Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) entitlement and they would have to purchase any replacements if needed.
