Dear Editor
We, the employees of Bauxite Company of Guyana Inc. (BCGI), are very saddened and angry at the insensitive and disrespectful manner in which the management of this company are treating us, the employees, which is the most important asset of this company.
One year has passed since this government has given the go-ahead to halt the deductions of tax on all overtime after 40 hours, and just recently it was reiterated again at a meeting held between the Government of Guyana and the management of BCGI. This company has however has seen it not in the workers interest to inform them on their final position.
We have therefore made a decision that by 30th November, if no adjustments are made to our salaries, we would therefore be withdrawing our labour until this situation is remedied.
Regards
Employees of BCGI
