For yet another month, employees of the Georgetown Mayor and City Council (M&CC) have not been paid and the city administration is claiming that it needs $4 billion in owed rates to fulfill its responsibilities to its staff, who are being prepared for possible industrial action over the situation.
The Guyana Labour Union (GLU) will be holding a meeting on Monday morning to decide the way forward, workers said yesterday, while the Guyana Local Government Officers Union (GLGOU) has asked its members to engage in a go-slow and prepare to picket City Hall during their lunch break.
Early last month, workers employed by the M&CC were paid for their services rendered in September, after they protested. However, when it came time for these workers to be paid for October, no payments were made.
