Georgetown : Today Guyanese will observe the anniversary of the martyrdom of five heroic sugar workers who sacrificed their lives in order that Guyanese workers, in general, and sugar workers in particular, could enjoy better conditions of work from their employers. On this occasion the People’s National Congress Reform (PNC/R) joins the rest of the nation in remembering Lallabajee, Pooran, Harry (Jug), Surujbally and Rambarran.
The main opposition party says “the struggle of the sugar workers and the commemoration of the Enmore Martyrs has become a national symbol around which all Guyanese workers could rally and be inspired, but regrettably sixty three (63) years after their death and thirty four (34) years after the People’s National Congress Government erected a monument to their memory at Enmore on the East Coast of Demerara, sugar workers are still being used as convenient political allies by the ruling People’s Progressive Party.
