On the occasion of Labour Day, the Alliance For Change recognizes the contribution of all workers in Guyana.
Today, in the midst of economic and social crises, Guyanese workers continue to toil to create the wealth for this nation, and from which we must all benefit. It is therefore more than appropriate that we recognise and honour all workers especially on Labour Day.
The travails and injustices meted out to Guyanese workers are monumental. They face depressing world market prices for our commodities that threaten retrenchment, a government that is unresponsive and uncaring about working conditions, and most of all the continuing division and dissension within the Guyanese trade union movement.
The AFC expresses the sanguine hope that the trade unions in Guyana would find the courage, maturity, and strength to forge a better relationship with each other, and be united and strong to reap for their members, the social and economic benefits they so richly deserve.
Solidarity Forever! Change is coming!
