NAACIE and GPL begin benefits negotiation for 2009

Oct 16, 2009 News

With the year almost at its end the Guyana Power and Light Company has begun negotiation with the National Association of Agricultural, Commercial and Industrial Employees on fringe benefits for the year.
According to General Secretary of the Union, Kenneth Joseph, the negotiations began on Wednesday and so far the talks are not favorable to the union.
He stated that the benefits the company is offering for the various allowances which include meals among others are not what they are willing to accept.
Joseph said in the meantime the union has appeal to the power company to come up with a counter proposal for the past two years (2007-2008) since there were no benefit discussions for those years.
He added that the Union has given the power company an ultimatum to come up with the counter proposal or go to arbitration.
Joseph said that the union has taken note of the offers made by the power company and now they are preparing to hold discussions with their workers at the different locations.
The two parties are expected to meet again next week when further discussions would be held.
In addition Joseph said that the power company has not yet seen it fit to hold any discussions about wages increases so far for this year.
