GTT sacks 15 more workers

The Guyana Telephone and Telegraph Company (GTT) has terminated the services of 15 more workers, according to head of the Guyana Postal and Telecommunications Workers Union (PTWU) Harold Shepherd, who says the company breached a court order requiring that it meaningfully consult with the union before proceeding.

“We have not contacted the company as yet but so far we are aware that at least 15 persons within the union’s bargaining unit were made redundant as of [Tuesday].
