Following what they have called an “unfortunate” meeting with the Department of Labour, the University of Guyana Workers’ Union (UGWU) and the University of Guyana Senior Staff Association (UGSSA) yesterday said threats will not deter them from their efforts for a forensic audit of the university’s finances.
The unions have been protesting since Tuesday in front of the Vice-Chancellor’s office at the Turkeyen Campus after they were told by the university administration that there is no available funding to grant wage increases and that the hikes imposed late last year were final.
