GEORGETOWN, Guyana -- Thousands of commuters were Monday stranded on several bus routes in Georgetown, Guyana, and its environs, as mini buses refused to operate in protest over numerous grievances.
Hundreds of government employees as well as workers in private enterprises reported for duty late.
The strike was organised by the United Minibus Union to protest police harassment, increase in fuel prices and other grievances.
It is now known how long the protests will last.
There were scores of mini buses operating in and around the city, and the East Coast and West Coast of Demerara that took part in Monday's protest.
