The Administration of the University of Guyana (UG) and the University of Guyana Workers Union (UGWU) yesterday signed a Memorandum of Agreement for a salary increase for the support staff at the university.
After extensive negotiations, a stalemate and brokering by Lincoln Lewis, President of the Guyana Trades Union Congress, the UGWU agreed to accept the UG Administration’s offer for a salary increase of 8 percent across the board for the support staff at UG classified as UB (full-time and part-time), according to a press release from UG. The offer was for the 2017 calendar year, retroactive to January, 2017, and the salary adjustments and retroactive payments will be made in the November 2017 payroll.
