Nurses employed by the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC) have been threatened with disciplinary action if they continue to engage in protest action while the Ministry of Public Service (MPS) has accused the Guyana Public Service Union (GPSU) of being deceptive.
In a statement issued yesterday the Ministry stressed that they have “acted lawfully at all material times and that the GPSU instigated protest action by several nurses and health care workers is a departure from terms of employment, collective agreement and a breach of the law governing essential services.”
Additionally a letter sent to several of the nurses from GPHC Director of Human Resources, Rohmena Chung, accused them of abandoning their duties on Friday to participate in an “illegal protest”
