GAWU says it is dismayed at this delay in the proceedings and will convene another General Council on November 07, 2015 to discuss GuySuCo’s stance.
Why till November 7th? Call the meeting this coming week and put Guysuco out of couple millions more, let them sweat a little
Fool, who is gonna sweat? The horse is already on three legs. Break the other and it goes down. Whose head you think it will fall on? That is 16K canecutters on the breadline and the political reality is the APNU would not lose one vote in the process. This playing politics where one is already on the losing side. The need here is to be working in unison to salvage a dying industry.
GAWU..will fail if they think striking will pressure Guysuco,
this is not the 80's.
Don't underestimate GAWU. It is steeped in a strike culture. When GAWU calls strikes, its members respond overwhelmingly. Rhyme or reason doesn't play a part in the process.
IMO, unless the government plans to introduce anti-strike legislation for the sugar industry, or has some other master plan, it had better meet GAWU half way. GAWU knows full well that its constant strikes result in loss of sugar output and sales revenue, and will hinder plans to turn around the industry to a profitable state. Evidently, it is not bothered; it wants the government to pump more $$billions. This is why the government has to act decisively and urgently one way or another.
