Minister Mustapha Recognizes the Tireless Efforts of Workers as the Foundation of National Progress at Labour Day Event

“The progress of our nation is built on the relentless effort of those who work tirelessly to sustain our economy and build our communities.” This was the message delivered by Minister of Agriculture, the Honourable Zulfikar Mustapha, as he addressed scores of workers at a Labour Day luncheon hosted at the Albion Sports Complex earlier today.

Recognising that the heartbeat of the nation is driven by the sweat and perseverance of its workers, Minister Mustapha expressed profound appreciation on behalf of President Dr. Mohamed Irfaan Ali and the People’s Progressive Party/Civic (PPP/C) Government for the role that workers continue to play in Guyana’s development.

“Our farmers, fisherfolk, artisans, teachers, healthcare workers, sugar workers, public servants and those in every other sector – your sweat and perseverance have laid the foundation for a brighter future. Your contributions power our economy and drive the heartbeat of this nation,” the Minister said.

The Labour Day event brought together workers from various sectors across Region Six. Present were Regional Chairman David Armogan, Vice Chairman Zamal Hussain, Deputy Regional Executive Officer Mary Samaroo, and other officials of the Regional Democratic Council (RDC).

Minister Mustapha noted the government’s steadfast commitment to improving working conditions, safeguarding rights, and expanding opportunities. He added that since returning to office in 2020, the administration has created over 60,000 new jobs and invested heavily in worker-focused initiatives and therefore urged workers to continue taking pride in their work and remain committed to national development.

“As we observe Labour Day, let us renew our efforts and silently pledge to contribute to the development of our country. When we build strong communities and a prosperous nation, our families and future generations will benefit,” he said.

Regional Chairman David Armogan echoed the importance of recognising labour as a core factor of production, noting that without labour, no wealth or value can be created.

“Labour is the most important factor of production,” he said. “It is because of the efforts of workers over the years – through struggle, protests, and perseverance – that today we enjoy better wages, eight-hour workdays, paid holidays, and the right to collective bargaining.”

Armogan reflected on the international history of Labour Day, tracing it back to the 1886 workers’ protests in Chicago that birthed the eight-hour workday movement. He also praised the contributions of Guyanese labour icon Dr. Cheddi Jagan, who was instrumental in establishing numerous trade unions and securing rights for workers.
