GPSU urges reinstatement of fired Customs officers

The union representing the two recently sacked Customs officers has written to their employer challenging the action and advising that the two staff members be reinstated immediately pending a meeting between the two parties.

In a statement yesterday, the Guyana Public Service Union (GPSU) said its challenge, posed to Guyana Revenue Authority (GRA) Deputy Commissioner- Human Resources Archana Joshi questions management’s violation of the rule of natural justice, as the two Internal  Affairs investigators — Sadesh Pitamber and Rabindra Ramsuran — were not charged nor given an opportunity to vindicate themselves. The union said it believed this to be a violation of their rights to natural justice.
