– accuse Govt. of reneging on “better life” promiseWorkers flocked the thoroughfare outside the Guyana Sugar Corporation (GuySuCo)’s Wales Estate yesterday morning to protest an imminent closure of the Region Three facility.Some of the Wales Estate workers protesting yesterday.The cry echoed by the protesting workers was that closure of the estate will mean that the coalition government – A Partnership for National Unity and the Alliance for Change – has reneged on a promise for “a better life for all Guyanese”.This was emphasised by Mr. Gordon Thomas who claimed that he has worked at the West Bank Demerara estate for the past 24 years.“If the Government had our interest at heart they wouldn’t close our factory. How can we have a good life when we will be out of our jobs?”According to Thomas, he and his colleagues were privy to an official announcement of the plans for the closure last Wednesday.“They told us that the estate will be closed this year by time October 1, and we are dissatisfied with this. They are saying that this estate is costing them the most,Adidas Nmd r1 Pink, but they have to look at Skeldon which cost billions; Wales is not the high cost Estate,” a passionate Thomas stated.He is convinced that the government has based its decision to close the estate on misinformation being shared by certain members of the board of the Estate.“When you check the efficiency, Wales was third on the list…eople are lying about this estate; they are lying to the Government. The Government is completely being misled.”“Where are we going to go and find a good job after so many years of work? This is like a dead end for we,” Thomas lamented.And he disclosed that the workers will continue to engage protest action until moves are made to reverse the decision.“We don’t care what it cost; we will continue to protest…eople from the factory, people from the fields,Authentic Jerseys Cheap, the office, everybody protesting.
