Workers and members of the Guyana Agricultural and General Workers Cooperative Credit Union Society Ltd hold a peaceful picketing exercise, calling on Guyana Sugar Corporation (GuySuCo) to remit workers’ savings that have been deducted from wages but remain outstanding.
The action involves credit union members from four sugar estates and is supported by the Guyana Agricultural and General Workers’ Union (GAWU). The outlets report that the dispute concerns amounts withheld from pay for the credit union, which workers say GuySuCo has not yet paid over.
While the reports describe the same protest and central demand, they differ slightly in emphasis and wording. Kaieteur News and INews Guyana frame the issue around GuySuCo’s failure to remit the savings, and Guyana Chronicle similarly highlights the demand that GuySuCo pay over deducted savings, citing GAWU’s position. All sources characterize the protest as peaceful and focused on immediate payment of the unremitted balances.
