…increase is for 2020; 1,120 non-management staff to benefit

The Guyana Power and Light Incorporated (GPL) and the National Association of Agricultural, Commercial and Industrial Employee (NAACIE), on Tuesday, signed an agreement for a five percent increase in wages and salaries for GPL workers for 2020.

The agreement will benefit approximately 1,120 non-management staff of GPL. It comes following a proposal made by the GPL Management on May 7, 2021, for a 2 to 10 percent increase for employees based on performance. The proposal was made after GPL employees staged a protest at GPL’s Main Street head office in April 2021 for salary increases.

He reiterated that Management remains steadfast in its intention to continue discussions with the union to mutually establish a three-year Collective Labour Agreement.
