President of the GTU, Mark Lyte on Friday evening lashed out at the government calling it “heartless” as according to him the union is ready to negotiate terms for teachers to return to the class room with discussions on salary increases being prioritised.
“Our government watched us for four days (demonstrating) to the world at the entrance of the energy conference and they ignored us, they watched us for ten days move from the Ministry of Education to the Ministry of Labour and the Ministry of Finance and they remain unmoved, that speaks of heartlessness, that speaks of being heartless to the people”, Lyte said on Friday evening in a live broadcast on the Guyana Teachers Union’s (GTU’s) Facebook page.
He questioned how members of the government can go to sleep at nights knowing that educators are being treated in such a manner.
