Standing in Solidarity with the Albion/Port Mourant Sugar Workers

Nov 14, 2025 Letters

Dear Editor,

As a fellow trade unionist, I stand in full solidarity with the hardworking men and women of the Albion/Port Mourant Estate who have taken industrial action over the dismissal of one of their field foremen.

This situation goes beyond the dismissal of a single worker, it speaks to the wider issue of fairness, respect, and the humane treatment that every worker deserves. Those who dedicate their lives to the sugar industry have done so with pride and sacrifice, often under difficult and uncertain conditions. They deserve to be treated with dignity and compassion, not disregard.

When a worker is dismissed without proper dialogue or explanation, it creates pain, frustration, and a deep sense of injustice. These workers are not troublemakers, they are mothers, fathers, and breadwinners trying to provide for their families. Their stand today is a cry for fairness and decency in the workplace. I urge GuySuCo management to listen with empathy and good faith. Engage the union that represents these workers and seek an amicable resolution. Reinstate the foreman pending a fair and transparent process, and let this moment be one of reconciliation, not resentment.

The strength of any company lies in its people. When workers are respected and their voices valued, production thrives and relationships strengthen. I therefore appeal to all sides to put humanity first and work toward restoring trust and understanding.

In solidarity and respect,
Lorenzo Joseph
Trade Unionist
