…at FITUG Rally?? ?By Sunita Samaroo Placards bearing calls for unity, duty free allowances and a reduction in the Value Added Tax (VAT) were among those brandished yesterday as hundreds of workers tramped through the city wards in celebration of Labour Day.Dressed primarily in red, the workers marched through the city streets in droves as various trade unions led their respective processions to two main meeting points of the umbrella trade union bodies,Cheap Nike NFL Jerseys Wholesale, Federation of Independent Trade Union of Guyana (FITUG) and the Guyana Trade Union Congress (GTUC).As is customary, the unions that fall under GTUC marched from downtown Georgetown led by Opposition Leader, David Granger, to the GTUC headquarters at Woolford Avenue and Albert Street, Georgetown.The FITUG march culminated at the National Park and the activity was being observed under the theme “United for Continued Progress and Development.”That event was graced by former trade unionist and current President, Donald Ramotar who delivered the feature address.Soon after the arrival of the President following which the National Anthem was sung, one of the men in the crowd shouted “Moses and Granger forever” to a resounding round of applause. The heckling intensified throughout the activity.Though he was greeted with calls by workers for “change” and on quite a few occasions called out on his “lies”, President Ramotar yesterday made a pitch to garner votes from the hundreds of workers gathered.The People’s Progressive Party/Civic (PPP/C) Presidential Candidate sought to outline just what his administration has done for workers and what they could have done had it not been for the combined opposition which dominated the tenth parliament.Though Ramotar announced his running mate, Elisabeth Harper as Guyana’s next Prime Minister with much enthusiasm, the crowd did not stir. He told those gathered that the PPP/C is a working class government which from inception has worked to improve the conditions of workers.The PPP/C,Wholesale Jerseys Free Shipping, he said, has implemented numerous legislations designed to strengthen workers’ rights and offer great protection to the working people. The President boasted that they had signed more International Labour Organisation (ILO) conventions than any other Caribbean country and over the years had constantly worked to improve the income of workers, directly and indirectly.He highlighted that even when the economy grew by 4.5 percent annually, the PPP/C administration ensured that workers were still given at least five percent increase in wages and salaries.“We have also extended the tax threshold to allow you to keep more money in your pockets,” he said.Ramotar, the President whose salary rivals that of world leaders, told the workers that his party had moved them from being workers who received payments of $6000 when they assumed office in 1992, to workers who now benefit from $50,000 a month “that would allow you to have far greater money… to spend as you so wish”.The President promised that as long as the economy continued growing, they will increase the minimum wage in the country.”He said that they had also delivered heavily on non-wage benefits so that they “could keep more money in your pockets,” but some members of the audience made no qualms about asking “wha money?”“Our housing programme is legendary and every house lot you get is heavily subsidized by government of Guyana,” was the statement by Ramotar which met with collective grunts from the crowd and one woman even hurling an expletive.He said too that his administration improved pension from $300 and a means test to now having pensioners benefit from $13,Cheap NHL Adidas Jerseys,200 monthly with their only “qualification being to reach 65.”“We are ready to continue these tasks to put out more services to ensure that working people have a better life …we are focusing on trying to create more employment.”He spoke about the infrastructural projects that would create more and higher paying employment such as the Amaila Falls Hydro project.He said despite the opposition’s budget cuts they continued and, “In the future, once we win the elections again we will build the Amaila falls project. That will help to drive our country into being a manufacturing country and we will be able to create 1000 more jobs,” he said.He pledged that his project will create high paying jobs for the economy which was met by a resounding “Yuh lie!” from sections of the crowd.Ramotar spoke of the support given to the bauxite industry in the past. Likewise, he told the crowd which comprised sugar workers,Cheap NFL Jerseys Wholesale, that a Ramotar-led government will plug billions into the sugar industry to keep it alive.Ramotar assured that
