| Today the PUP Representative for Orange Walk South said that government cannot take a hands-off approach on this issue. Jose Mai says they have to get involved as regulators:...
Hon. Jose Mai, PUP OW South Area Rep.
"Government cannot pretend to say oh these are 2 big business men and let them fight it out. The sugar industry control board is the regulator, it is the Mediator. So when there is a stalemate they need to come in and do their job."
"We do not want the industry down the same slippery slope it went a couple years ago, let us avoid that. The government has a critical role to play and ASR and the cane farmers have to understand that in negotiation you get something, but you also have to give up something."
