The Guyana Teachers Union (GTU) and teachers across Guyana will today embark on a two-week strike to protest failure by the relevant authorities to address four key issues raised by the union.
In a letter headed “Urgent Pending Industrial Action”, the union stated that these issues not only affect the well-being of educators but also have a direct impact on the stability of the nation’s educational system. Among the issues are the government’s failure to address the GTU’s multi-year agreement, imposed salary increases and non-salary benefits, failure of the Chief Labour Officer (CLO) to act, and unresolved matters impacting educational stability.
