President Irfaan Ali calls on the Guyana Agricultural and General Workers Union (GAWU) to move beyond traditional bargaining and take on direct management of a sugar estate. Speaking during public commemorations in Enmore, Ali says the government is pursuing “different formulas” and reforms to improve the sugar industry’s long-term survival and profitability, while GuySuCo works on reforms and performance improvements. According to multiple reports, Ali frames the request as an opportunity for GAWU to serve as a model operator by managing an estate under a new arrangement. The government signals it is prepared to give the union a direct role in management, rather than limiting involvement to negotiations and labour matters. While the articles do not specify which estate would be assigned, they consistently describe Ali’s challenge to GAWU to “take an estate and manage it.” The proposal is presented as part of broader efforts to restructure and strengthen the sugar sector, with the union positioned as a potential partner in operational management rather than only as a representative body.
