AFC expresses deep concern over sugar workers

AFC is a major half of the coalition, only now they have concerns,weren't they at the table making decision , or did they leave everything to the PNC. Maybe they have NO say in the coalition.

ANSA MCAL and the Harmonious PNC'ite are calling the shots on the Sugar Estate deals.  Guyana for sale to the luckiest bidder.

With Moses son-in-law poised to benefit from hundreds of millions from massive land deals.

Don't forget Ramotar's son and the fiberoptic cable deal that ran aground. Government failures must be looked at from every angle. Bite your fingers before you point them.

Small mind like your thinks small. Think again about the amount that will be made with massive land deals. 

Jackass Rammo's son made small change compared to what will be made with these massive deals. 

Please take a deep breath and think carefully. Breathe.

The flippin AFC is too late in speaking out, they spent all this time dragging their goadies around and now the hurt is on, they try to seem symphatic to workers plight. I do not disagree that something has to be done with the land, government cannot keep bailing out a dying business but it has to be done slowly, giving workers a chance to ease themselves into other means of supportiing themselves. Whether the land is given or sold to the workers, private companies to run, whatever deal is made it should be made with the workers in mind.

Did you take your advice and bite your fingers before you pointed them at Ramotar's son?

It seems that the coalition government strategy is to lay the blame on guysuco. First. Harmon blamed them for the premature dismissals and now the AFC seems to pointing fingers at Guysuco for the lack of transition planning or implementation.

this is all crocodile tears on the part of the AFC. Nothing they do or say now will not undo the damage they have done since they have sided with the PNC.

That should have been the most sensible approach.

As Cain pointed out many times, the country cannot keep bailing out the industry but the AFC should have demanded that the PNC implement a phasing out of the industry by cushioning the impact of the closure by bringing Union, Workers and Parliament to find a sort of financial compensation package as the Industry closes.

They just cannot leave the workers high and dry, this will cause devastation.

This confirms that the AFC holds no real bargaining power in this coalition. Moses and Granger should have shown the workers some good faith but chose to throw them under the bus.

Let us not forget that it was sugar which was bringing in much needed foreign currency in good times. The AFC/PNC will never change, they are 100 times more arrogant than the PPP.

All of this you demand and yet you grudge Linden the little light bill that they get.

Listen give the sugar workers cheap lights, a severance package and then ignore them.  Just as Jagdeo did to the bauxite workers.

The bauxite workers were the highest paid laborers in the country, what have they done with the money when hard time came. Anyway the industry still exist the lazy ones got fired.
