No increases for sugar workers this year – CoI recommends

Meanwhile, GuySuCo has lost more than $222.6 million over the last three days as a result of the strike action embarked upon by the workers which ended on Wednesday.

STRIKE!!!  STRIKE!!!   STRIKE!!!  SHUT THE FRIGGIN THING DOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!   

NO JUSTICE, NO BLOODY PEACE!!!!

Many sugar workers live from paycheque to paycheque.

If dem STRIKE for a long time who gun feed dem pickney and send dem to school, when the COI is recommending no pay increase ?

Maybe millionaire Jagdeo can provide financial support for a long strike.  

Tourism can grow and create jobs for thousands who can no longer find employment in other industries. We need to modernize our seaports and airports and encourage investments in hotels and restaurants. 

The Union WILL like they did during the 80 Days Strike!!!!!!!!!

Nah, too much crime, who in their right mind will want to go to Guyana when the President is letting criminals of the loose every year. This would take its toll on the tourists.

Granger is bare-faced man who attends mandirs, churches, and mosques, then turn around and join hands with criminals. Crime is a major hindrance to tourism.

Crime is worse in T&T, Jamaica and Rio and tourists still flock there. Crime is not a major hindrance if you sell the right tourism package. Having said that, crime has to be better controlled in Guyana but anyone expecting it will happen overnight is simply delusional.

It is far better than sharing bad space with criminals, like the PPP did for 23 years. Name one honest PPP president of the last two decades.

You don't control crime by secretly releasing dozens of criminals on the streets. No democratic government does things like this.

That's not true.

There was consistent economic growth during those 23 years unlike the prior two decades. The PPP cracked down on crime and the opposition got on the streets protesting charging criminals were innocent people. I guess they believe in their own lies and that's what led them to releasing some 60 criminals without any consultation with parliament or civic societies. Undemocratic government do things like this.

That's the least of our crime problems. Even in America we have people being pardoned wholesale by Obama for petty crimes or for sentences that do not match the crime. The problem is that the PPP turned a blind eye to the drug trade because it was bringing in revenue for the country and their own pockets. With the drugs came the guns and out of control violent crime along with killing squads such as the Phantoms. We also have junkies all over the place willing to steal or kill for the next fix. 

yOU DID NOT THINK SO PRIOR TO mAY II.  bloody snake!!!!!!!!!!!

As usual your charges against the PPP purporting they were in cahoots with the big drug traffickers of the world is riddled with inconsistencies, lies, and speculations that cannot stand up to scrutiny in a court of law. It's all political machinations by the enemies of democracy to paint a picture of the PPP as a partner in the drug trade.

Oh Please! The PPP were a big supporter of Roger Khan, the Phantom Squad and the rest of the criminal underworld who moved drugs in and out of Guyana.

YOU WANT SOME STICK LASH.

Like he want mo ah be Indo buddy and sista to get killed, like they did in the 60s.

Take my word, after one year from today the sugar industry will destroy by the PNC. If the CoI can recommend no increase in salary and the industry suffered that much loss due to the strike, there is no hope. Well will see one of Guyana major industry in the TATA bus grave yard. 

Come on Cobra, if a shut down is to happen, it does not happen with just a year problems, that they inherited. The money spent on the Skeldon factory was  a major factor.

It takes a long time for a business to deteriorate to the level of a shut down.

Give some mismanagement 'credit' to the PPP for this  destruction. IF it happens.

They were keeping it afloat with huge subsides, because they wanted the votes, that they are still playing in their favour.

I believe the TATA bus grave yard is near Mahaica and its too small for the sugar industry.     

Yes he did.

Reread T's post, then reread yours, see how much sense his made and how much nonsense,yours.

Mr. T and Tola can make a good team. No matter what the topic is, they always rush to blame the PPP. I believe they get nightmare about the PPP so they have vent out the devil inside of them. Cain, haul you ass suh.
