The Guyana Telephone and Telegraph Company Ltd (GTT) has stopped laying off workers and will now engage the Guyana Postal and Telecommunications Workers Union (PTWU) on the company’s redundancy programme based on a Consent Order that was handed down by the High Court last month.
At a press conference yesterday, PTWU Presi-dent Harold Shepherd stated that the union “won the court matter,” which means GTT has to comply with the Termination of Employees and Severance Pay Act and the Collective Labour Agreement, which was signed between the union and the company.
