DEAR EDITOR,
Permit me the space, to seek the intervention of the Government to investigate the unashamed position of the Management of GPL. I dare say, that I will seek spaces weekly to inform the readers and authorities of the issues that affect the Staffers of GPL.
This time of the year is known to be the festive season; the time of giving. However, this is not so with the Company I speak about. The Management have seem to forget that the Guyana Power & Light is an important pillar to the development of the nation and more specifically the catalyst for the many Christmas Trees that will need electricity, and I reiterate, that will need electricity to be lit-up.
Further, the staffers who are over worked, and underpaid, who face brutal disrespect from customers daily, those who are spin doctors of the ‘White House’ – who tell spin-truth to the press about the current shortage in generation of electricity, the linemen who work handicap and list can go on and on. The point is, the staffers do this not just because they care about our job security, but because they care about the longevity of GPL, while management spends good money on retreats.
I must say the time is now for your intervention Mr. Patterson. To see how the Top-heavy management can get up off their rears and work. They are sitting on the lower concerned staffers who are interested in the progress of GPL. They are blocking the development and happiness of the staff.
Mr. Jordon, I am aware that you are certainly the expert in the business of finance, on to a date like now the GPL Management (Negotiation) team, who were pushing the Unions around and were subsequently fired and reinstated cannot come up with a proposal that meet the expectations of its employees. Please speak to His-Excellency, President Granger, for the same ratio of increases to be applied to GPL’s less than 2,500 permanent and temporary staff.
Staffers are concerned whether they will be meted with the vendetta of those reinstated or told no increases. The Staffers deserve it (9% increase).
Yours in truth
Concerned Consumer
