Man uplifts dead man’s salary at Uitvlugt Estate

Feb 06, 2014 News

…two sacked, workers down tools

Just over 100 workers attached to the Uitvlugt Sugar Estate, West Coast Demerara, yesterday downed tools in protest of the dismissal of two of their colleagues.
The two, Ravi Dasrat a supervisor, and Roshan Khan a foreman, on Tuesday received their marching orders which were effective from Monday last.
Those striking at the estate yesterday included field foremen, supervisors, weeders, pest control personnel as well as factory workers among others.
The two were dismissed because the salary for a dead man was paid to some unknown person whose signature was illegible.
According to reports, the pay packet with $31,000 would have been prepared by Dasrat and reviewed by Khan.
When contacted last evening President of the Guyana Agricultural Workers Union, Komal Chand said that while he has heard of the incident, he was out of office yesterday and as such was unaware of the details.
