Unions reject NIS reform proposals

The Guyana Public Service Union (GPSU) and the umbrella body Guyana Trades Union Congress (GTUC) say they will not accept any of the proposals made by the actuary for the reformation of the failing National Insurance Scheme (NIS) and blamed government for its current state.
