The Guyana Teachers’ Union (GTU) yesterday  said that plans are underway for an application to the court today following the collapse in collective bargaining talks with the Ministry of Education on Tuesday.

During a telephone interview with Stabroek News (SN) yesterday, GTU General Secretary Coretta McDonald stated that the union has already met with their attorney, Darren Wade and he is in the process of filing the court application.

“I can’t confirm whether he did file it…, but he assured us yesterday that he was going to file it… We had to submit to him the minutes and so on from the meeting last Thursday,” she said.
