GuySuCo senior staff wants Ramotar to intervene

Feb 19, 2014 Letters

Dear Editor,
The GuySuCo senior staff once again would like to express  their concern through your media. An audience with the  President of the Co-operative Republic of Guyana was sought approximately three  weeks ago with issue related to ‘No Wage Increase and ‘Performance Base Incentive’ for the year 2013 for senior staff.
The response from the President was that he is awaiting the Chairman of GuySuCo to come into the country. Up till Monday February,17, 2014, we are still waiting for the Chairman to come in.
A new circular was issued to all locations that a new CEO will be at the helm of GuySuCo with effect from 24/02/2014. With this new change, it seemed we have been ignored and disrespected. It has been alleged by the current Chairman that the financial status of GuySuCo  was solely due to the faults of Senior Staff, but the Chairman needs to realize that the senior staff are being guided by the Board members and other executive decisions and direction.
Three per cent of the workforce (Senior Staff)cannot be paid wage increases based on inflation for 2013, but money was made available to pay 97 per cent workforce (Unionised workers) and a substantial amount could be sourced to contract Indian nationals at certain location in GuySuCo. It is alleged that these Indian nationals are being paid super salaries and other benefits.
We are now calling again on the President to look into this matter urgently before the situation gets out of control.
