With its annual wages and salary negotiations underway, the Guyana Agricultural and General Workers Union (GAWU) is seeking an across-the-board 16% hike for sugar workers.
GAWU’s General Secretary Aslim Singh recently told Stabroek News that they are in preliminary discussion with the executive management of Guyana Sugar Corporation (GuySuCo).
Currently, the negotiating parties are reviewing the financials of the corporation to determine whether or not GuySuCo is in a position to grant the proposed increase.
