Employees of the Guyana Public Service Union (GPSU) will enjoy various benefits following the signing of a two-year Collective Labour Agreement with the Ministry of Social Protection’s Labour Department, a release from the Department of Public Information (DPI) said yesterday.

Head of the GPSU’s Interim Management Committee (IMC) Trevor Benn and Chief Labour Officer, Charles Ogle signed the pact. It replaces the one which was agreed to in 1975.

The APNU+AFC government has been strongly criticised for not fulling its 2015 promise of free collective bargaining.
