The Guyana Trades Union Congress (GTUC) has decried what it sees as the government’s refusal to engage with the Guyana Teachers Union (GTU) and declared that it will stand with the union until their rights are recognised.
In a release on Friday, the GTUC stated its intention to stand in solidarity with the GTU in its struggle for equal treatment for teachers under the Constitution and Laws of Guyana and its decision to take industrial action come Monday, February 5.
It made it clear that it was holding the People’s Progressive Party/Civic government accountable for creating “a bad industrial relations climate” by its “discriminatory management that sees the continuous violation of laws and transgressing of the rights of some workers.”
