I am happy for these hard-working sugar workers

Dear Editor,
The sugar workers at Rose Hall Estate staged a two-day legitimate strike for wages owed to them. At the end, their voices were heard and management agreed to pay such wages. Some 7000 people were left for years to go hungry after the closure of this very estate by the PNC Government.
President of the Teachers’ Union, Mark Lyte may not be pleased with the outcome of the sugar workers two-day strike because the teachers who were on an illegal strike for 29 days did not get similar treatment.
It is simple, the sugar workers performed their duties and the teachers were on the picket line when they should have been in their classrooms. I am hearing this one thing over and over: no work, no pay. The former deserved their pay and the latter must work for their pay.

Regards,
Kenneth Singh
