The Greatest Betrayal on the Labour Front in Guyana has to be the PPP's betrayal of the Sugar workers.

The Jagdeo led administration has smashed everything that Cheddi and Janet Jagan among others worked for in recognizing sugar workers and their contribution to this country.

Jagdeo wouldn't know anything about struggling or fighting for the rights of workers having been handed the Presidency of this country on a platter neither have he experienced the struggle associated with these people. He wouldn't know that struggle if it knocked on his $300m home tomorrow. But, the PPP stance on the workers fight for their wages and salaries is a mockery of what has been fought for over these decades.

Just as the workers are struggling to have their wages and salaries increased to a level they can live on the Jagdeo led administration as forced the company to do many things.

Contrary to belief, the Carbon Puppet Jagdeo is not playing the good guy as he makes himself out to believe in this Guysuco/GAWU quarrel.

If the press reports of recent are correct the Company is actually thinking of derecognising the UNION, at this point the President steps in like the "GOOD GUY" and says NO WAY WILL THIS HAPPENS"

Like the joke it is, little do Sugar Workers know when they took a week long strike action, It was the HEAD OF STATE himself who asked that COMPANY say it was out of MONEY to pay them, hence the company's announcement that they will be paid the following week.

As tough as managing this country may sound, Jagdeo knows a few things about 'jooking' the books, accountability is NOT one of the things Jagdeo will ever be created for in the history of this country.

Fine we all know that the company is catching its ass to put itself on the feet, but Jagdeo isnt thisa good time for a bail out?!

The PPP as a government is spending TOP money on several other schemes, lending monies to hoteliers, going into joint ventures, Hydro power, a internet cable, there will be Carbon Credit, not to mention the well hidden away LOTTO FUNDS.

WHY NOT A BAILOUT for the Sugar Company then??!

Whats so wrong for a few extra dollars to do this way into something this nation is so largely 'dependent' on.

Why isnt the PPP and Jagdeo throwing their monies this way and invest in sugar, invest in the workers?!!

There must be a missing piece of the puzzle that we are not getting!!!!

The PPP candidates' list

The process has started. The weeding out of some "old" ones and the bringing in of the Jagdeo-ites has started in order to ensure certain things are kept in place for the next "PPP"/Jagdeo Government.

Carvil Duncan and Bishop Juan Edghill, two well-known soup-drinkers are said to be on the PPP list of candidates for the 2011 elections. Sources said that the list is being crafted and many who have received the government's support in their pockets by being appointed to boards etc are being called on to show their allegiance to the PPP government. This will be most likely with Bharrat Jagdeo at the helm either as President or Prime Minister.

our sources tell us that names already on the list are an editor, two reporters, several businessmen, an executive close to DDL, a Trade unionist, former banker, media mogul, two prominent members of the the Private Sector and the parents of a minister of government.

Carvil Duncan

His smile spells treachery, his face, greed, he is another one of the black fools, a puppet of the Jagdeo gang, a sinister idiot.

Carvil Duncan will move on to the next bowl of soup if the government changes tomorrow.

But we have been observing him since the days of the formation of the Federation of Independent Trade Unions. He was one of those brainless brains who opted to sell out the workers, turn his backs on them and trample on their rights when he stepped away from the large Trade Union body in Guyana, the Guyana Trades Union Congress.

He used this opportunity to make his money, buy new cars, buy new properties and send his daughter to school overseas, some of life’s choices working class Guyanese patients don’t have.

Today his nose is so close in the Champion’s Butt that we not even sure he got an adequate supply of oxygen!

He is hailing, applauding and kissing as at every opportunity he has with the PPPites and the Champion.

He has received several appointments when the PPP sought to put snitches in various constitutional bodies including the ERC where both Duncan and his daughter served.
He is one of the man soup lovers who crossed the Atlantic with the Champion to Copenhagen.

Life is indeed sweet for the few who kiss butts.
