Employees of Bosai Minerals Group yesterday downed tools to protest the company’s proposal of a 5.5% wages and salary increase. Workers are calling for a higher increase since they were given a 6.5% increase in 2020 when the pandemic had almost crippled the sector.
Scores of workers yesterday left their posts, forcing operations to come to a halt as they called on management of the bauxite producing company to offer a much more lucrative package.
Stabroek News was told that the protest will continue today as workers seek to have their demand of a 10% increase met.
