Co-ops dep’t fills positions at GPSU credit union in accordance with court decision

The Department of Co-operatives Societies (COOP), Ministry of Labour yesterday intervened in the management of the Guyana Public Service Co-operative Credit Union (GPSCCU) to fill three interim positions as mandated by a court order.

The High Court had ordered that Gillian Pollard, Ruth Howard and  Karen Vanslyutman-Corbin be prohibited from conducting business for the GPSCCU.

In accord with this, a release from the Ministry of Labour yesterday said that  Rajdai Jaggernauth has been appointed in the position of  Corbin (Chairman), Patrick Mentore  for Pollard (Secre-tary), and Trevor Benn for  Howard (Committee member).

The release said that all decisions made during the meeting yesterday are in accordance with Chapter 88:01 of the  Co-operative Societies Act and the court order dated July 5, 2023.

There has been a long-running dispute between two factions of the credit union for control of it.
