Several workers of the Skeldon sugar estate, supported by the union GAWU, yesterday picketed outside of the estate calling on the GuySuCo to end what they claimed to be its discriminatory benefits practices.
A release from the Guyana Agricultural and General Workers union (GAWU) said that the workers are protesting a decision by the sugar company to pay gratuity to employees at the managerial, supervisory, and clerical levels while denying similar payments to workers employed in the field, factory, and allied areas.
