The Guyana Trades Union Congress (GTUC) is dismissing a recommendation for the establishment of a tripartite board as a solution for restoration of the monthly US$2.9 million subvention the government has withdrawn from the institution.
The recommendation, which President of the Federation of Independent Trades Union of Guyana (FITUG) Carvil Duncan made, is for the tripartite board to comprise representatives of the GTUC, FITUG and government.
Government withdrew the CLC subvention in August 2007 and has not budgeted for it this year, citing the need for trades union unity as a pre-condition for its restoration of the funding.
