The release also noted that as of Thursday 13th August, 2015 has recorded three Cane Harvesting strikes which resulted in 685 Man Days Lost.
“Rose Hall is the worst affected in this respect, one of the harvesting gangs is now on strike for the fourth consecutive day making demands for exorbitant payments which are not consistent with the agreed rate of payments,” the statement noted.

What is the projected cost per lb. There has to be a plan?
Question for Hanomanji, What are the interventions to bring cost down, certainly not paying you abt 3m per month and paul another $2m.
GAWU and Ramsammy said it was wrong to fire Raj Singh welll i wonder if they knew he was getting 5m$ per month, for no skills what so ever.
I wish Guysuco well but performance of this industry i am not counting on any deep changes not with Hanoman and Paul Bhim and Sangster. Dinosaurs in the modern world.
