Dear Editor,
With the local government elections close, the management of Guyana Goldfields including a senior manage are breaking the spirit of workers who are entitled to go way from the area to vote. They are being asked to stay and work because they will lose income. This is because they can’t guarantee getting us back on site before three days
Some persons who are schedule to travel out close to Friday are being offered time and a half to stay on site and work through because they are not bringing their replacement to site until after the elections. The law is clear; all employees are entitled to time off and in my view this is clearly not being obeyed. This is a foreign company and they need to be told to obey our laws or leave our country. In the past, persons would have labeled this kind of treatment prison-like like or slave camp. This may cost my job if my identity is revealed. Please withhold my identity. Frustrated employee
