Georgetown : Following the tabling of almost similar motions by the two opposition political parties – A Partnership for National Unity (APNU) and the Alliance for Change (AFC) in the National Assembly on Monday sugar workers from Guysuco’s seven estates reacted by engaging in protest today.
The factories at Skeldon, Albion, Rose Hall, Blairmont and Enmore did not process any sugar since the workers stayed away from work. On all the Estates, a number of field workers also downed tools in support of the one day’s action.
Some sugar workers, among others, also picketed the Office of the AFC at Strand, New Amsterdam, Berbice
The conclusion of the Estimates of Expenditure for the financial year 2012 will be on Wednesday April 25, 2012 when all Guyanese will be able to know the final outcome of any budget cuts.
