The controversy-ridden elections for a new Management Committee of the GPSCCUL has taken another turn with disgruntled members complaining to the Ministry of Labour that the polls on Saturday violated rules.

On Monday, an attempt to swear-in the executive which was elected on Saturday was aborted after disgruntled members disrupted the meeting with table-banging, chanting and loud music.

One of the newly-elected members of the  Guyana Public Service Cooperative Credit Union Limited (GPSCCUL), Christopher Thompson, who is also one of the attorneys representing the credit union deemed Monday’s “melee” involving former members of the executive, Karen Vanslutyman-Corbin, Ruth Howard and Saskia Eastman-Onwuzirike as “embarrassing and crass,” as they disrupted the swearing in of the new executive committee. He signalled an intent to return to the court on the matter.
