Chicago White Sox Jerseys bleak’
| The Skeldon sugar factory will be taken over sooner rather than later as test runs are continuing relatively smoothly.Kaieteur News was told that even as the factory is running excellently,Marcus Allen College Jersey, the sugar company is seeking to make its one off payment that was decided upon by an arbitration panel last year.The panel had ruled that Guysuco must pay $1.3B to its workers when the wages dispute between the Company and its employees reached a peak last year.It had also ruled that a further 2.1 percent one-off payment must be made to workers as a cost of living adjustment for 2008.However, given GuySuCo’s financial constraints,JuJu Smith-Schuster College Jersey, the Company was given until last month to pay the living adjustment to workers. This newspaper was told that the sugar company, which has had extreme financial difficulties, is currently negotiating with the Guyana Agricultural and General Workers Union since it is yet to make full payments to workers.The company had announced that while they will have to abide by the ruling of the tribunal,Zach LaVine College Jersey, there would be serious complications, among them,Russell Westbrook College Jersey, acquiring the money to pay the sum.On the other hand,UCLA Bruins Jerseys, President of GAWU, Komal Chand,Mark Sanchez College Jersey, has publicly stated the decision of the tribunal has fallen short of the expectations of the Union and the workers.He stated that GuySuCo is ‘going to the pits’, adding that the future of the industry is ‘bleak’.Deputy Governor of the Bank of Guyana, Dr. Gobind Ganga, led the tribunal.Other members of the team were Attorney-at-law Cecil Seepersaud and Major General (ret’d) Norman McLean. Soured wage negotiations between the company and GAWU resulted in workers taking industrial action, which lasted for almost four weeks.Both sides are bound by the decision of the arbitration panel. |
