The efforts of the Guyana Trades Union Congress (GTUC) to join the case of its member union, the Guyana Teachers’ Union (GTU) met with success yesterday.
A release from the GTU informed that in the case of the GTU versus Attorney General of Guyana (2024-HC-DEM-CIV-FDA-229), Justice Sandil Kissoon granted a Notice of Application filed by the GTUC to intervene and or join the legal proceedings filed by the GTU against the Government of Guyana.
In making this decision, Justice Kissoon rejected the contention by Darshan Ramdhani, KC, who appeared on behalf of the Attorney General (AG) of Guyana and argued that the GTUC ought not to be joined as it did not have any legal interest in the said legal proceedings and therefore could not make any useful contribution to the legal proceedings.
