The Guyana Public Service Union in a letter yesterday to President Bharrat Jagdeo called on the government to pay public service workers a 25% across-the-board interim increase in salary immediately.
The GPSU said in a press release yesterday that “this representation has been made in recognition of the enormous increase in the cost of living which has devastating if not disastrous effects on most workers, and the union being sensitive to the workers’ situation and their appeal for help to alleviate their plight and the deprivation that they, their families and dependants are experiencing.”
