Opposition walkout sent the wrong message to the nation

Dear Editor,

It is with great concern that the Federation of Independent Trade Unions of Guyana (FUTUG) an organisation which represents the majority of unionized workers in Guyana, has noted a recent decision by the opposition parties to walk out of Parliament on March 27 2008 under the pretext that their amendment to the motion on a stakeholder’s decision was not accepted by the ruling party. Any amendment would have had to be as a result of another meeting of all the stakeholders who had agreed on this document.
