Talks continuing on risk allowance, benefits for frontline health workers

The Government and the Guyana Public Service Union (GPSU) continue to “engage” on working conditions and remuneration within the public health sector but the public and the workers remain uninformed about the process.

“An engagement is taking place. I don’t know anything else just that there is an ongoing engagement,” GPSU representative at the Guyana Public Hospital, Owen John told Stabroek News yesterday.

John’s comment is the most the public has heard about the process which was initially scheduled for two weeks. It now enters its fourth week.
