The Guyana Public Service Union (GPSU) yesterday said it remains the only legally-recognised representative of Guyana Geology and Mines Commission (GGMC) workers and accused the agency and the Natural Resources Ministry of colluding to breach the labour laws by withholding the payment of dues from workers who have joined a new union.
First-Vice President of the GPSU Dawn Gardener told a press briefing yesterday that the union would be pursuing legal action to address the situation.
Attempts to contact GGMC’s management for a response yesterday were unsuccessful.
The GPSU called the press conference to address a Sunday Stabroek report which stated that GGMC workers had broken away from the GPSU and were seeking representation instead from a newly established union, the Guyana Civil Servants and General Workers Union.
