President David Granger yesterday met with a group of disgruntled security guards at New Amsterdam, who were laid off by a private security firm based in Georgetown.
According to the workers, the firm, Integrated Security Services, has not paid salaries since December 2017.
They also complained that they were victimised by the company’s Chief Executive Officer after a few workers voiced their concerns in the media.
“President Granger assured the group that he will look into the matter and try to find a way forward, noting that it is beyond unreasonable for workers to be left without salaries for such a long period,” a Ministry of the Presidency statement said yesterday.
On Wednesday, another group of security guards from West Coast Berbice, who are attached to the same security firm, staged a protest in front of the Regional Democratic Office at Fort Wellington over unpaid wages.
The Ministry of Social Protection has intervened in the situation which involves several hundred workers. The guards abandoned their posts at scores of Government facilities, including health centres, school and other state buildings in East and West Berbice.
