The fears of sugar workers who are currently against the APNU+AFC Government’s decision to close Wales Estate have been realized as the Guyana Agricultural and General Workers Union (GAWU) revealed that as at February 05, 2016, no less than sixty workers from Wales fields and the factory were given marching orders by officials of the Guyana Sugar Corporation (GuySuCo).

GAWU today said that the 60 were told that they were no longer engaged in employ of the Estate. These workers worked previous crops at the Estate. A few of them, including young females, were told they could be further employed to cut and load canes, if they wished.
This morning, GAWU said that over fifty planters were reportedly told by GuySuCo officials that if they did not to take up employment at Uitvlugt Estate and did not agree to accept severance pay within three days, it would be regarded by GuySuCo that they have opted to leave the Estate’s employ.
The union condemned the so-called interviews and the high-handedness adopted. It also pointed out that the interviews are being conducted behind the backs of the workers’ Unions – GAWU and NAACIE.
