Irate workers attached to the former Rose Hall Sugar Estate on January 9 braved the inclement weather to protest for their severance payment as they demanded that the Government get its act together.
Eight hundred and fifty workers whose last day of employment was December 29, on Tuesday protested the non-payment of millions of dollars which are collectively owed to them by the David Granger Administration and the Guyana Sugar Corporation.
A one-minute of silence was held in honour of the two former workers who took their lives after being sent home.
