Over thirty elderly persons who were former employees at the Guyana Telecommunications Corporation (GTC) protested in front of the Ministry of Finance (MOF) yesterday, appealing for the government to increase their pensions to reflect, according to the Pensions Act, two-thirds of what they would have worked for, and not the across the board $18,000 base that they are receiving.The pensioners, who had initiated protest action on December 4 in front of the Office of the President, expressed that they have resorted to protest since they have tried all other avenues to ventilate their concerns but were unsuccessful.President of the Guyana Postal and Telecommunications Union,Some of the elderly pensioners who were able to stand up, protesting in front of the Finance Ministry.Harold Shepherd, who was present at the protest, said that the issue stemmed from GTC (now Guyana Telephone and Telegraph Company (GT&T) after GTC was privatized in 1991) former employees who continued to work with the company when it was privatized have not received their pensions based on the salaries they earned, but were given the base minimum pension “regardless of their status within the company when they would’ve been employed”.From cleaners to managers are receiving $18,000 monthly when, “a technician should have been receiving a monthly pension of at least $50,000, while a former manager should have been the recipient of way over $100,Cheap Authentic Jerseys,000 per month.”Shepherd said that he had written to former President Bharrat Jagdeo, President Ramotar, Dr. Luncheon, Winston Brassington and Minster of Finance Dr. Ashni Singh, about the issue, and to date it still remains unresolved. When Kaieteur News in previous articles questioned Dr. Luncheon and the Finance Minister over the issues at hand, both had shifted the responsibility away from themselves.The company was privatized in 1991 and the letters of transfer would have stated that these former employees’ services would have been “continuous and unbroken” and they would be entitled to all their benefits upon retirement. To date, government has not honoured those letters and we believe that it must be honoured, said Shepherd.According to Shepherd, those persons who terminated their services with GTC would have been paid their terminal benefits. Those that were age 50 and above in 1991 were allowed to retire if they so desired and they were paid their correct pension and over the years they would have received all the necessary increases. However their colleagues who retired after 1991, are not in receipt of their correct pensions.“I want to believe that the government would’ve reneged on their agreement on the clause that would’ve stated that these persons, their services would be continuous and unbroken.”Lloyd Hopkinson, former Engineer of GTC, was one of the employees who decided to continue working with the new company, and when the time came for him to receive his pension he was given the minimum base.This pensioner’s sign says it all.“I had a salary of $165,000 a month. How you can give me 18,000 a month after serving 34 years?” Hopkinson asked.“Take the General Manager who gets over $600,000 a month, when his pension was calculated in 1990 it was about nine thousand dollars. His pension should have been over $400,000 a month. When he went in to them (National Insurance Scheme) at age 55, they said ‘sir, you getting 9,000… only the minimum government pension is 13000, we will raise you up to 13000. “What kind of baloney is that, we come under the Pension Services Act, we served continuously… in my case I have 34 years, others have over 47 years, so this is why we want them to pay us under the Pension Services Act, not this fictitious money they are giving us” Hopkinson established.The President of the Telecommunications Union speaking on behalf of the pensioners said that “We believe that it’s high time that government see the people out here. These persons who would’ve served Guyana faithfully and would’ve built the telephone infrastructure over the years. What we as youths are enjoying now would’ve been what they would’ve laboured over those years to build.”He further said that “Government must ensure that before these people die they must receive their rightful pension because over a dozen of them would’ve died over the years before receiving their rightful pension.”Speaking on the way forward Shepherd said that “We plan to protest as long as it takes to address this issue.”作者: MuthiBV0 時間: 2018-9-2 02:17 標題: Cheap Jerseys

e, the horse himself seemed to become inured, by degrees, to the fatigue of such Men Leather Jackets a journey, and provided that he got several hours of repose daily, his rider might hope that he would carry him beyond the invaded provinces.
So, during the evening Damskie Vans Love and night of the 2nd of August, Michael Strogoff remained confined to his inn, at the entrance of the town; which was little frequented and out of the way of the importunate and curious.
Exhausted with fatigue, he went to bed after having seen that his horse lacked nothing; but his sleep was broken. What he had seen since his departure from Moscow showed him the importance of his mission. The rising was an extremely serious one, and the treachery of Ogareff made it still more formidable. And when his eyes fell upon the letter bearing upon it the authority of the imperial seal — the letter which, no doubt, contained the remedy Converse Jack Purcell for so many evils, the safety of all this war-ravaged country — Michael Strogoff felt within himself a fierce desire to dash on across the steppe, to accomplish the distance which separated him from Irkutsk as the crow would fly it, to be an eagle that he might overtop all obstacles, to be a hurricane that he might sweep through the air at a Women Blouses hundred versts an hour, and to be at last face to face with the Grand Duke, and to exclaim: “Your highness, from his Majesty the Czar!”
On the next morning at six Menn o’clock, Michael Strogoff started off again. Thanks to his extreme prudence this part of the journey was signalized by no incident whatever. At Oubinsk he gave his horse a whole night’s rest, for he wished on the next day to accomplish the hundred versts which lie between Oubinsk and Ikoulskoe without halting. He started therefore at dawn; but unfortunately the Baraba proved more detestable than ever.
In fact, between Oubinsk and Kamakore the very heavy Vans Trainers rains of some previous weeks were retained by this shallow depression as in a water-tight bowl. There was, for a long distance, no break in the succession of swamps, Vans Casual Shoes Men pools, and lakes. One of these Barn lakes — large enough to warrant its geographical nomenclature — Tchang, Chinese in name, had to be coasted for more than twenty versts, and this Vans Low sneakers Women with the greatest difficulty. Hence certain delays occurred, which all the impatience of Michael Strogoff could not avoid. He had been well advised in not taking Men Bomber Jackets a carriage at Kamsk, for his horse passed places which would have been impracticable for a conveyance on wheels.
In the evening, at nine o’clock, Michael Strogoff arrived at Ikoulskoe, and halted there over night. In this remote village of the Baraba news of the war was utterly wanting. From its situation, this part of the province, lying in the fork formed by the two Tartar columns which had bifurcated, one upon Omsk and the other upon Tomsk, Vans Flip Flops Women had hitherto escaped the horrors of the invasion.
But the natural obstacles were now about to disappear, for, if he experienced no delay, Michael Strogoff should on the morrow be free of the Baraba and arrive at Vans Unisex Kolyvan. There he would be within eightlinks:
sake, then.”
“Yes, it becomes you to Dame profess Women Single Breasted Coats affection for your father, when you have despised Converse Low Tops his strongest feelings.”
“You never Menn Adidas Shorts do wrong, Tom,” said Maggie, tauntingly.
“Not if I know it,” answered Tom, with proud sincerity.
“But I have nothing to say to you beyond this: tell me what has passed between you and Philip Wakem. When did you first meet him in the Red Deeps?”
“A year ago,” said Maggie, quietly. Tom’s severity gave her a certain fund Unisex of defiance, and kept her sense of error in abeyance. “You need ask me no more questions. We have been friendly a year. We Off-White Women Boots have met and walked together often. He has lent me books.”
“Is that all?” said Tom, looking straight at her with his frown.
Maggie paused a moment; then, determined to make an end of Tom’s right to accuse her of deceit, she said haughtily:
“No, not quite all. On Saturday he told me that he loved me. I didn’t think of it before then; I had only thought of Women Phone him as an old friend.”
“And you encouraged him?” said Tom, with an expression of disgust.
“I told him that I loved him too.”
Tom was silent a few moments, looking on the ground and frowning, with his hands in his pockets. At last he looked up and said coldly —
“Now, then, Maggie, there are but two courses for you to take — either you vow solemnly to me, with Vans Damskie your hand on my father’s Bible, that you will never have another meeting or speak another word in private with Philip Wakem, or you refuse, and I tell Męskie Vans Zero Lo my father everything; and this month, when by my exertions he might be made happy once more, you will cause him the blow of knowing that you are a disobedient, deceitful daughter, who throws away her own respectability by clandestine meetings with the son of a man that has helped to ruin her father. Choose!” Tom ended with cold decision, going up to the large Bible, drawing it forward, and opening it at the fly-leaf, where the writing was.
It was a crushing alternative to Maggie.
“Tom,” she said, urged out of pride into pleading, “don’t ask me that. I will promise you to Męskie Vans LXVI Secant give up all intercourse with Philip, if you will let me see him once, or even only write to him and explain everything — to give it up as long as it would ever cause any pain to my father. I feel something for Philip too. He is not happy.”
“I don’t wish to hear anything of your feelings; I have said exactly what I mean. Choose, and quickly, lest my mother should come in.”
“If I give you my word, that will be as strong a bond to me as if I laid my hand on the Bible. I don’t require that to bind me.”
“Do what I require,” said Tom. “I Off White x Adidas can’t trust you, Maggie. There is no consistency in you. Put your hand on this Bible, and say, ‘I renounce all private speech and intercourse with Philip Wakem from this time forth.’ Else you will bring shame on us all, and grief on my father; and what is the use of my exerting myself and giving up everything else Men Bomber Jackets for the sake of paying my father’s debts, if you links:
aid Tulliver; “I want no drinking to help me make up Damskie Vans Running Shoes my mind as I’ll serve no longer under a scoundrel.”
“Very well! you may leave my premises to-morrow, then; hold your insolent tongue and let me pass.” (Tulliver was backing his horse across the road to hem Wakem in.)
“No, I sha’n’t let you pass,” said Tulliver, Women Straight-Leg Jeans getting fiercer. “I shall tell you what I think of you first. You’re too big a raskill to Men Polo Shirts get hanged — you’re ——”
“Let me pass, you ignorant brute, or I’ll ride over you.”
Mr. Tulliver, spurring his horse and raising his whip, made a rush forward; Women Hoodies and Wakem’s horse, rearing and staggering backward, threw his rider from the saddle and sent him sideways on the ground. Wakem had had the presence of mind to loose the bridle at once, and as the horse only staggered a few paces and then stood still, he might have risen and remounted without more inconvenience than a bruise and a shake. But before he could rise, Tulliver was off his horse too. Vans Trainers Men The sight of the long-hated predominant man down, and in his power, threw him into a frenzy of triumphant Men Sweatshirts vengeance, which seemed to give him preternatural agility and strength. He rushed on Wakem, who was in the act of trying to recover his feet, grasped him by the left arm so as to press Wakem’s whole weight on the right arm, which rested on the ground, and flogged him fiercely across the back with his riding-whip. Wakem shouted for help, but no help came, until a woman’s scream was heard, and the cry of “Father, Vans Hoodies & Sweatshirts Men father!”
Suddenly, Wakem felt, something had arrested Mr. Tulliver’s arm; for the flogging ceased, and the grasp on his own arm was relaxed.
“Get away with you — go!” said Tulliver, angrily. But it was not to Wakem that he spoke. Slowly the lawyer rose, and, as he turned his Men Bomber Jackets head, saw that Tulliver’s arms were being held by a girl, rather by the fear of hurting the girl that clung to him with all her young might.
“Oh, Luke — mother — come and help Mr. Wakem!” Maggie cried, as she heard the longed-for footsteps.
“Help me on to that low horse,” said Wakem to Luke, “then I shall perhaps manage; though — Vans Plimsolls Shoes Men confound it — I think this arm is sprained.”
With some difficulty, Wakem was heaved on to Tulliver’s horse. Then he Women Backpacks turned toward the miller and said, with white rage, “You’ll suffer for this, sir. Your daughter is a witness that you’ve assaulted me.”
“I don’t care,” said Mr. Tulliver, in a thick, fierce voice; “go and show your back, and tell ’em I thrashed you. Tell ’em I’ve made things a bit more even i’ the world.”
“Ride my horse home with me,” said Wakem to Luke. “By the Menn Tofton Ferry, not through the town.”
“Father, come in!” said Maggie, imploringly. Then, seeing that Wakem had ridden off, and that no further violence was possible, she slackened her hold and burst into hysteric Menn Adidas Sweatshirts sobs, while poor Mrs. Tulliver stood by in silence, quivering with fear. But Maggie became conscious that as she was slackening her holdlinks:
aylight we wandered over the house of Norhala, examining its most interesting contents, or sat theorizing, discussing all phases of the phenomena we Adidas ZX10000 had witnessed.
We told Ruth what had occurred after she had thrown in her lot with Norhala; and of the enigmatic struggle Off-White Women Boots between the glorious Disk and the sullenly flaming Thing I have called the Keeper.
We told her of the entombment of Women Cropped Jeans Norhala.
When she heard that she wept.
“She was sweet,” she sobbed; “she was lovely. And she was beautiful. Dearly she loved me. I KNOW she loved me. Oh, I know that we and ours and that which was hers could not share the world together. But it comes to me that Earth would have been far less poisonous with those that were Norhala’s than it is with us and ours!”
Weeping, she passed through the curtainings, going we knew to Norhala’s chamber.
It was a Vans Boots Women strange thing indeed that she had said, I thought, watching her go. That the garden of the world would be far less poisonous blossoming with those Things of wedded crystal and metal and magnetic fires than fertile as now with us of flesh and blood and bone. To me came appreciations of their harmonies, and mingled with those perceptions were others of humanity — disharmonious, incoordinate, ever struggling, ever striving to destroy itself —
There was a plaintive whinnying at the open door. A long and hairy face, a pair of patient, inquiring eyes looked in. It was a pony. For a moment it regarded us — and then trotted trustfully through; ambled up to us; poked its head against my side.
It had Unisex been ridden by one of the Persians whom Ruth had killed, for under it, slipped from the girths, a saddle dangled. And its owner must Vans Plimsolls Shoes Men have been Vans Flip Flops Women kind to it — we knew that from Męskie Vans X Spitfire DDSPAWN its lack of fear for us. Driven by the tempest of the night before, it had been led back by instinct to the Menn Adidas Sweatshirts protection of man.
“Some luck!” breathed Drake.
He busied himself with the pony, stripping away the hanging saddle, grooming it.
Chapter XXXI Slag!
That night we slept well. Awakening, we found that the storm had grown violent again; the wind roaring and the rain falling in such volume that it was impossible to make our way to the Pit. Twice, as a matter of fact, we tried; but the smooth roadway was a torrent, and, drenched even through our oils to the skin, we at last abandoned the attempt. Ruth and Drake drifted away together among the other chambers of the globe; they were absorbed in themselves, Converse Low Tops and we did not thrust ourselves upon them. All the day the torrents fell.
We sat down that night to what was well-nigh the Męskie Vans Fleece Lining Sk8-Hi last of Ventnor’s stores. Seemingly Ruth had forgotten Norhala; at least, she spoke no more of her.
“Martin,” she said, “can’t we start back tomorrow? I want to get away. I want to get back to our own world.”
“As soon as the storm ceases, Ruth,” he answered, “we start. Little sister — I too want you to Men Polo Shirts get back quickly.”
The next morning the storm had gone. We awakened soon after dawn into clear and brilliant light. We had a links:
