Dear Editor,The GAWU’s attention was drawn to Mr Earl Hamilton’s letter titled “Another example of deception by GAWU” which was published in the September 09 2019. The letter writer has sought to add his views to the spirited discussion between our Union and Mr Lincoln Lewis regarding some aspects of the sugar industry. While certainly, Mr Hamilton has a right to express his views, we contend such views ought not to be tainted but rather reflective of what really transpired and what is factual.Mr Hamilton charges our Union as a mouthpiece, seemingly of the PPP/C. Contrary to such warped thinking, the GAWU is the mouthpiece of no one but an ardent voice of our members and the working-class of Guyana. We have steadfastly and continuously stood on the side of the workers of our country as they face up to varied and multiple challenges in their quest for fairness, equity and social justice.The letter writer says regarding the sugar industry that the “…decline and eventual death… would have affected the livelihoods of so many…”. Indeed, as our Union and others had warned, this reality is right now playing out in scores of communities at this very time and affecting too many Guyanese. The fact that this is generally recognizable brings into serious question the rationale/s that was advanced by the incumbent caretaker Administration regarding the industry’s minimization.Mr Hamilton next contends that “…workers’ legal action for severance that originates from employment with a state entity, is one brought against the State”. What the letter writer seems to say, in our view, is that the State has a beholden responsibility, whether directly or indirectly, to the workers of the industry. With that in mind then it adds further confirmation that the State, led by the APNU+AFC, has been practicing naked discrimination when it chose to award pay rises to all workers of the State except those in the sugar industry.The letter writer may really wish to consider our views regarding worker and trade union collaboration and co-operation. As we have pointed out, on several occasions, our Union has zealously and continuously called, supported and advocated increased and improved trade union solidarity. Through, our trade union centre – FITUG, the GAWU has expressed support and solidarity with workers facing up to challenges at their workplace. In more recent times, GAWU, through FITUG, has stood together with the nation’s teachers as they sought a fair deal, and with the workers of RUSAL to demand respect for the Union from the employer. Our Union has a long-standing history of standing on the side of the workers and the working-class. We have not forgotten whence we came and we believe standing together makes us stronger.Today it is saddening that those who once called themselves friends and allies of the workers and who are firmly ensconced in cushy positions of State, have all but forgotten about the workers and their struggles for a better today and tomorrow.Yours faithfully,Seepaul NarineGeneral SecretaryGAWU
Public Health Minister Volda Lawrence and a team of medical professionals on Friday wrapped up a three- day visit to medical institutions in Linden and other parts of Region 10 (Upper Demerara-Berbice). During the visit, which commenced on Wednesday, the Minister toured several health facilities, including the Linden Hospital Complex (LHC), Upper Demerara Hospital (UDH) and the Kwakwani Hospital. She also conducted closed door meetings with Linden nurses, tutors and students of the Charles Rosa School of Nursing, doctors attached to the LHC as well as members of the Regional Democratic Council (RDC) Health Committee.Following the meeting with the Regional Health Committee on Thursday, MinisterMinister Volda Lawrence greeting staff at the LHC on FridayLawrence in addressing Regional Councillors, Regional Chairman Renis Morian and Regional Vice Chairman Elroy Adolph noted that she had fruitful discussions with the Committee.“Let me report to you that we have had fruitful and very deep thought discussions, and I’m quite certain that like myself, that they are leaving satisfied that we could have been afforded this opportunity to not only speak of the negatives but also of the positives; and to highlight what we’re going to do going forward,” she noted. The Minister also told the Councillors who form part of the Regional Health Committee that while the Public Health Ministry has a mandate to ensure access, equity and timeliness in the delivery of healthcare, it is their responsibility to ensure that they work in close collaboration to take care of persons in the region. “You are responsible for their health. Foremost, we are the overarching body that enables that to happen. Let us continue to work together,” she iterated.On Wednesday, the Minister was also present for the officiation of the LHC Management Committee.
Two development companies have helped provide the space for the two temporary fire stations, Dyer said. The county also receives fees from developers to defray the cost of building fire stations. At the temporary stations, firefighters are housed in double-wide mobile homes and the fire engine is housed in a metal building. By 2010, permanent stations should be built to replace the two temporary ones, and an additional four stations will be built by then, Dyer said. Building a fire station costs more than $7 million, Dyer said. The county Fire Department expects to soon lack funds to build enough stations to meet population growth. But Dyer said that estimating growth is not an exact science. “We’re projecting a deficit, but really a lot of it’s voodoo right now, to be honest with you,” he said. “We don’t know what the growth projections are that far out.” alex.dobuzinskis@dailynews.com (661) 257-5253 160Want local news?Sign up for the Localist and stay informed Something went wrong. Please try again.subscribeCongratulations! You’re all set! “There will be more fire engines out there to respond to a big, large incident.” A report given to the Santa Clarita City Council last year said population growth in the valley was outpacing the construction of new fire stations. After the report, officials created a joint city and Fire Department task force to address the problem. Assistant City Manager Ken Striplin, who sits on the task force, said the city’s involvement sped up the construction of the two fire stations. “Working together jointly on this issue has certainly benefited the construction and future construction of fire stations in the Santa Clarita Valley,” he said. The ongoing construction of Fire Station 132 at 29310 Sand Canyon Road in Canyon Country, the one that is opening May 1, is being managed by the city. The county will build the other fire station, at 24525 Copper Hill Drive in Saugus. SANTA CLARITA – The Fire Department is building two new temporary fire stations in the Santa Clarita Valley to serve the area’s growing population. The valley now has 10 Los Angeles County fire stations and a regular staff of 53 firefighters. The two fire stations the county is building will each have four firefighters per shift, augmenting the number of firefighters in an area that has demanded quicker response times. One of the stations is expected to open May 1. The other station, which the county Board of Supervisors voted Tuesday to build, should open on June 1. “It will improve response times to the area and also improve what we call the weight of the attack,” said Michael Dyer, chief deputy of business operations for the county Fire Department.

In a hard hitting but clean contest, both sides gave their all. Glenfin trailed by 4pts at half time despite having led by 4pts earlier in the half. A Conor McBride goal was well cancelled by three Buncrana goals. Ethan O Donnell struck the post with a Glenfin penalty in the second half, but he was quick enough to tap in the rebound. a couple of points from Jason Morrow kept Glenfin level as the game entered the closing stages, and just when the game seemed set for extra time, Eoin Donnellan tapped over the winning point with nearly the last kick of the game. The win was harsh on Buncrana as a draw would probably have been a fair result. Lorcan Donnellan lifted the cup for Glenfin. Final Score Glenfin 2-!0, Buncrana 3-6.

Transfer gossip on talkSPORT.com It is unclear whether the club are pursuing a new deal because they see a bright future for Martial in a Red Devils shirt, or they simply want to cover their costs when the time comes to sell him.With less than a year left on his current deal, United will be desperate not to lose the youngster for a cut-price fee, having recently been hit with an additional payment to Monaco.A clause agreed at the time of the 22-year-old’s transfer was triggered last week when he scored his 25th league goal in the 3-2 comeback victory over Newcastle.

SAN FRANCISCO — For the second straight year, Giants outfielder Steven Duggar has sustained a season-ending injury.Duggar sprained the AC joint in his left shoulder making a diving catch in Wednesday’s loss to the Nationals and was placed on the injured list on Thursday. Manager Bruce Bochy was optimistic that Duggar might be able to return to the field in September, but the Giants elected to transfer the outfielder to the 60-day injured list on Friday which brings an end to his season.Here’s …
