Hold on until the government starts collecting royalty from ExxonMobil. GAWU will have to think twice before every strike.

Understand this. Exxon isn't mining for a thing until prices increase, so we have no idea when these royalties will flow in. With gold in decline govt revenues will also drop, as will their ability to continue to bail out Guysuco.

The PPP set the precedent by selling Guymine, when they claimed that their losses were unsustainable. If GAWU doesn't see a similar fate for Guysuco, let them continue to burden the taxpayers of Guyana.
