Guest house worker accuses employer of kicking

Jan 12, 2013 News

A woman employed at a guest house at Mabura was reportedly kicked by her expatriate employer, after he became enraged that the full cylinder of gas he threw at her feet missed its mark.
According to reports, the woman, Denean Deene, was accused of going to work late by her employer.
But an eyewitness said that the woman was not late for work. The individual said that the woman was probably targeted by the man because she had been complaining that he was in the habit of fondling her breasts, although he had warned her not to say anything.
Deene subsequently made a report to the police after the incident and they promised to investigate.
She also reported the matter to Chief of Security, Malcolm McPherson, and union representative Angela Henry. When contacted by this newspaper Henry said, “It is high time that these people (expatriates) be exposed because this is not the first time that an employee has been kicked. This nonsense has to stop!”
Henry said that she reported the latest kicking incident to Chief Executive Officer Anthony Younge in the presence of the perpetrator, who subsequently spoke with the CEO in their native language.
After the brief exchange between the two, Henry said that she was advised to report the matter to the personnel Manager, Ralph Trotman, which she did.
“Another person, Allan Chalmers, who no longer works with the company was also kicked by one of these people, and nothing, came out of that incident.
“You cannot fight with these people or cannot hit them, because that would be instant dismissal, so why are they hitting workers? This is total eye-pass, and advantage, so the people in authority need to look into these people that come here and abuse Guyanese,” Henry exclaimed.
