The GTU yesterday said it was mobilizing strike relief for use when necessary and it vowed to proceed with legal action against the government over planned deductions from salaries.
Meanwhile, senior members of the Guyana Teachers’ Union (GTU) yesterday met with the Guyana Trades Union Congress (GTUC) and other unions to discuss the ongoing strike action by educators.
The meeting focused on updating union affiliates on the strike action and garnering support from other trade union bodies.
President of the GTU Mark Lyte confirmed to members of the media that the initial 10-day strike is still on and will continue indefinitely until teachers’ demands are met. He also addressed the government’s decision to deduct money from teachers’ salaries during the strike, reaffirming that legal action will be taken to challenge this move.
