[www.inewsguyana.com] –Minister of State, Joseph Harmon says that Government has taken a decision to restore tax free overtime benefits to bauxite workers after the benefit was withdrawn in 2007.

Harmon made the announcement at a press conference on Wednesday, where he pointed out that the benefit was “arbitrarily” snatched from bauxite workers.

“Cabinet approved the reinstatement of tax free overtime benefits to bauxite workers…in 1988 bauxite workers were granted tax free concessions on overtime work. These

concessions were enjoyed by workers until 2007 when they were arbitrarily taken away by the previous administration,” he stated.

Harmon indicated that the removal of the tax waiver was seen as some sort of punishment for Region 10 hence the new Government thought it only right to restore the waiver.

“This withdrawal adversely affected the earning of bauxite workers in linden and Kwakwani and was seen as a punitive measure…so it’s basically correcting that situation,” Harmon said.

Who dis "PNC" yall stupidy people keep bringin up?

PNC exists and its the largest party within APNU.  APNU is NOT a political party.  It is a COALITION of political parties, which also includes others like the WPA, and JFA.

PNC and their voodoo economics.  Clear favoritism by these clowns.  This act of favoritism will not go without retribution!

OK so sugar workers have employment because the PPP refused to divest Guysuco, which it should have when it divested Guymine.

 

Then you fraud scream favoritism.  The favoritism is when the PPP didn't sell Guysuco, knowing full well that the result would have been automation of the industry, closure of marginal estates, and redundancy of thousands of workers.

 

So go scream "me hate blackman".

Why are we posting this again?  I posted it earlier today.  Or did Gilbakka wanted us to see the Gordon Moseley spin zone version?

It's always best to have a more unbiased version than the bilge emanated from Guyana Times/Freedumb House. Nobody in Guyana buys that paper. I was there a couple of months ago and a girl was handing them out one afternoon at Bourda Market since no one cared to buy them.

FACT: Gilbakka's thread was posted first, before the other one on the same issue. But I don't object when others duplicate threads. That's Admin's job.

Apologies I didn't see it before.  But my version is from a different source. If Admin would like to delete mine that is fine.

Really, these things don't bother me. Lots of space in GNI cyberspace for everyone. Relax.
