GAWU condenms Lindo Creek massacre

The Guyana Agricultural and General Workers Union (GAWU) sends its heartfelt condolences to the grieving families and friends of the miners who were massacred at their camp in Lindo Valley, up the Berbice River.

This latest atrocity highlights the decadence to which some have descended into. These miners were working-class souls laboring for an honest living in a challenging environment.

GAWU still believes in the goodness of the greater majority of Guyanese. The Union is outraged by this sinister development in our hinterland. We have lost members and relatives on the Coast. We can therefore share the pain of loss, grief and suffering.

Another dark blot has stained our society but we are confident that justice, however delayed, will be served. Our immediate wish is for the apprehension of the perpetrators – whoever they might be. With them are their collaborators who offer food, medicine and shelter. They too will meet their just ends.
