Aurora Gold Mine workers briefly halt work, seek 10% wage hike

📌 Workers at Aurora Gold Mines (AGM) in Guyana’s Cuyuni‑Mazaruni region downed tools over wage stagnation and working conditions, demanding a 10 % pay rise.

📌 The work stoppage was brief and operations have resumed, with management and union representatives agreeing to continue formal negotiations.

📌 The mine is Guyana’s only large‑scale gold operation and a key contributor to local output and revenue.

Labour unrest highlights underlying tensions in major mining operations, especially around compensation and working conditions, even amid strong sector demand and high gold prices.
