The court ruling that several portions of the Sugar Industry Act was unconstitutional remains an issue as both the government and BSI/ASR are hoping to overcome. Minister Kareem Musa is a part of a government’s working group hoping to find solutions on the situation.
Minister Musa went to note that as things currently stands, there is a collective bargaining agreement that expires in November. He notes that they are hoping to overcome the impasse before the agreement expires, and the start of the next sugar crop.
