Trade unionist and supporters march up Main Street against unemployment
Trade Unions of Guyana (FITUG) Carvil Duncan; General Secretary, Kenneth Joseph; and President of the Guyana Agricultural and General Workers Union (GAWU), Komal Chand, along with other trade unionist and workers yesterday marched from the Bank of Guyana to GAWU’s head office in solidarity with the World Federation of Trade Unions (WFTU) International Action Day 2014 under the theme “Unemployment: End unemployment! Organize and fight for dignified work and life.”
The gathering was later addressed by Minister Gopual who emphasized a positive employment situation in Guyana which reports thousands of available jobs locally.
The trade unionist said that the WFTU’s Action Day 2014 finds the global working class facing greater hardships. The capitalist governments and the financial institutions such as the IMF and the World Bank have not found an “exit from the crisis” the world has been experiencing for years now.
He added that the recipe proffered as solutions by the developed countries is the same: – cuts in pay, pension-cuts, austerity, drastic reduction of social rights and amenities and unemployment. Thus, burden of the crisis, clearly, is placed on the backs of the working-class to fetch.
