GAWU concerned at sugar output, blisters management

The main sugar union GAWU yesterday expressed deep concern over poor production at GuySuCo and launched a stinging attack on the management of the corporation.

The Guyana Agricultural and General Workers Union (GAWU) statement came just days after Stabroek News had reported on dismal sugar production figures despite billions of dollars being poured into the industry, the purchase of machinery and the hiring of experts.

As the principal bargaining agent in the sugar industry, GAWU said yesterday that it is “deeply concerned over the current trend of sugar production”.
