Plans in store to raise sugar workers’ pay, expand skills of harvesters –President

President Irfaan Ali on Monday evening in a Facebook livestream disclosed that efforts are in the works to increase the salaries of sugar workers and to improve the skillset of the cane harvesters so as to enhance their income within the industry as government continues along the path to optimize GuySuCo’s productivity.

Contending that the APNU+AFC continues to show no remorse for closing sugar estates under their tenure, leaving thousands of workers jobless and unable to provide basic necessities for their families, Ali said, “the narrative that seeks to reset historical truths would not be allowed to flourish. We will correct those narratives.”
