The Guyana Sugar Corporation (GuySuCo) responding to queries about whether the Corporation can still pay severance to workers from the Wales Estate in the face of an injunction, says that a court order is blocking it.
An Injunction was granted in the High Court by Justices William Ramlal and Diana Insanally in favour of the Guyana Agricultural and General Workers Union (GAWU) and the National Association of Agricultural, Commercial and Industrial Employees (NAACIE).
The Order granted by the Judges states, ‘‘It is further ordered that an interim injunction be and is hereby granted restraining the (Guyana Sugar Corporation Inc.) from severing the employment of workers of the Wales Estate and rendering them redundant.
To do so GuySuCo must hold consultations with GAWU and NAACIE.
The matter was called before the Judge in the Chambers Court on May 17, last. It is to be heard again on May 24.
