– workers expected back todayThe crop has just started at one sugar estate but already workers are striking.Officials of the Guyana Sugar Corporation (GuySuCo) yesterday disclosed that over 800 workers, including harvesters and crop husbandry hands, proceeded on strike at West Demerara estates, demanding the payment of a one-week sickness and provident benefit.This one-week payment would normally be made at the start of every first crop in the new year, which was traditionally in the month of February.“However, because of the industry’s desperation to maximize every possible day to harvest and grind its canes the crop was started as early as possible, in this case at the start of this week at Uitvlugt. ?Now, it is no secret that the Corporation does not have cash,Cheap Jerseys Wholesale, made worse by the failure to meet the 2010 sugar production target by such a long margin. As a result, there was/is no sugar to sell overseas to generate money during this period,” one senior GuySuCo manager explained.With 250 strikes recorded last year, this latest development is one of the worst scenarios that GuySuCo could have been faced with at the commencement of its 2011 operations.“The frustrating problem of unnecessary strikes continues unabated. This is one of the primary reasons which led to the industry falling short of its target in 2010 and having to carry over so many canes into this crop,” another senior manager complained.In Berbice,Air Max 270 Sale, Blairmont Estate is set to have its crop brief today to commence their first crop.LBI, on the East Coast Demerara, and Albion, in Berbice, are scheduled to commence their crop this weekend.As of yesterday morning, some 26 tonnes of sugar were declared at Uitvlugt, which for the week adds up to a dismal 92 tonnes produced to date.Cane has been burnt to load 291 punts. However, a strike by workers from Wales and Uitvlugt will definitely lead to losses in the field,NFL Jerseys Cheap, stoppage of grinding at the factory and further losses in the time it takes to mobilize, cut and transport cane back to the factory, not to mention restarting the factory which all adds up in the end result, officials at the Uitvlugt factory said.Contacted yesterday, a senior executive of GuySuCo argued that the early start to the crop would result in the sugar produced being sent overseas and thereby generating money to pay the workers the one week sickness benefit.“This was explained in detail to the workers, yet they went ahead to call a strike demanding that they be paid their money immediately. This is truly unfortunate as it seems that despite all the disclosure and meetings with the workers, including the recent meeting with the President at the International Convention Centre, where he went into detail to explain the position of the industry…this has apparently fallen on deaf ears.”The GuySuCo official pointed out that cognizance must be taken of the fact that the 5% one-off retro payment to workers, announced by the President, had to be made by government as GuySuCo did not have any money.“This is a year that opportunities cannot be missed, every day of good weather to harvest means more sugar being produced as we move towards making the target of 300,000 tonnes of sugar for 2011, which will see us in a better financial position for the benefit of both workers and the nation.”The final declaration of sugar for the second crop of 2010 is still to be made as the auditing process has not been completed.Contacted yesterday, President of the Guyana Agricultural and General Workers’ Union (GAWU),Stitched Canada NBA Jerseys, Komal Chand, confirmed that workers were on strike,Wholesale NFL Jerseys, but disagreed with the 800-plus figure given.“They (GuySuCo) said that they can’t pay the workers now. The crop would normally start in February and these workers came out at Uitvlugt to make an early start. They said that the workers will be paid next week, so the workers are coming out back to work tomorrow (today),” the official told Kaieteur News last evening.Last year, with a dismal workers’ turnout and record number of strikes, the industry suffered one of its lowest production levels in 18 years forcing government late last year to announce a 5% retro pay for workers who would have been facing the first Christmas without a bonus.GuySuCo, as indicated, has announced a 300,000 tonnes sugar target this year to counter last year’s 220,Cheap Hockey Jerseys 2019,000 tonnes.

The only way to break the current political stalemate in Guyana is through Constitutional reform and new elections.This is the view held by Former Speaker of the National Assembly, Ralph Ramkarran, who in his most recent writings for his blog conversationtree.gy, said that instead of seeking the kind of unity that would have ensured political stability and development after the 2011 elections, the PPP/C opted for a minority government.Former Speaker of the National Assembly, Ralph RamkarranAccording to Ramkarran, there is nothing wrong in principal with such a decision, once the Opposition permits such a situation on the basis of some form of agreement about major policy directions.“This did not happen and the Opposition is allowing the government to hold office on sufferance,Cheap Atlanta Braves Jerseys, not on the basis of agreed policies…The result is that there is political gridlock and a stalemate on legislation and developmental projects, with potential investors being warned.”This situation,Alexei Kovalev Jersey, Ramkarran predicts, will continue until the next elections, due in 2016, and is unfair to the Guyanese people and is not what they voted for.According to Ramkarran, during the past week there were two news items of political interest.“One is that, contrary to popular belief and an undertaking from the President, no budget discussions are taking place…The other is that the Opposition is unlikely to support the anti-money laundering legislation in its present form unless the Public Procurement Commission is established.”Ramkarran said that he believes that,Nike Air Max Zero White, “these developments are surely connected.”According to Ramkarran,J.R. Smith Jersey, for compromise to be achieved on anything, discussions must take place.He said that in its absence, “Guyana can expect no developments whatsoever in or out of Parliament, except in those areas of the economy which do not depend on agreement between these forces…We are seeing it in rice, mining and construction.”According to Ramkarran,Cheap Blue Jackets Jerseys, the failure of the Amaila Hydroelectric Project,Cheap Nike Shox Shoes, the Opposition’s warning to potential investors in the Marriott, the possibility of the Airport Expansion Project and the Specialty Hospital being derailed, “and now the anti-money laundering legislation being held up, which will negatively impact on Government, Opposition and the entire country, indicate that our political impasse is growing to intolerable proportions.”
