Berbice Sugar Workers

[size=10pt]SUGAR  workers at the Albion estate, Region 6, have again taken strike action...........[/size]

[size=10pt]The  workers claimed they were in the past paid $4000 per punt for carryover  canes....[/size] ::lol::

[size=10pt]Sugar harvesters from gangs 14 A  and B, who were joined by five other harvesting gangs from Port Mourant  in solidarity,

staged a protest on July 16 by blocking the roadways    [/size] :wink:

[size=10pt]It  has been 10 days since the canes have been burnt, and if a decision is  not made shortly, over 162 punts of canes

(approximately 962 tonnes)  could be lost, as a result of the industrial unrest......[/size] ad:

[size=10pt]Thus  far, approximately 400 harvesters have downed their tools, and vowed  not to return to the fields until their demands

are met by GuySuCo.....[/size]

At least they are not attacking police, and burning buildings and trucks. They are not asking for freeness...they are asking for fairness.

[size=10pt]GuySuCo’s projection target for the second crop  is 167,000 tonnes; and to date,

only 5,500 tonnes have been produced....[/size] :lipsrsealed:

Lazy coolies  ::

what the people in Linden asking for

The worst thing that happened to Berbice was the closing of the Port Mourant factory.
