The union representing the two recently sacked Customs officers has written to their employer challenging the action and advising that the two staff members be reinstated immediately pending a meeting between the two parties.
In a statement yesterday, the Guyana Public Service Union (GPSU) said its challenge, posed to Guyana Revenue Authority (GRA) Deputy Commissioner- Human Resources Archana Joshi questions management’s violation of the rule of natural justice, as the two Internal Affairs investigators — Sadesh Pitamber and Rabindra Ramsuran — were not charged nor given an opportunity to vindicate themselves. The union said it believed this to be a violation of their rights to natural justice.
