After a vehement refusal of the government’s wages and salaries offer and a request for negotiations to be taken to conciliation, no date has been set and the Guyana Public Service Union (GPSU) is silent.
Six weeks ago, GPSU Senior Vice President Mortimer Livan told Stabroek News that the union was willing to give the Labour Department two weeks to set the date for a conciliation meeting.
Attempts to source a comment from the union proved futile as its Industrial Relations Department refused to comment on the matter and its executive members, including President Patrick Yarde, did not return any of several calls placed to the secretariat.
