The Guyana Public Service Union (GPSU) on Friday voiced its objection to government’s continued “arbitrary imposition” of salary increases on public servants despite the existence of a binding collective bargaining agreement.
At a press conference, GPSU President Patrick Yarde said the union is “fed up with arbitrary impositions,” while making reference to an announcement by Minister of Finance Winston Jordan, who on Thursday said public servants would receive an increase in their salaries that will be retroactive to January 1st of this year.
The announcement was made a day after President David Granger said that he was awaiting word from the Finance Minister on the availability of funds to pay year-end bonuses.
