Saying government has continued to ignore its obligations under the existing labour agreement, the Guyana Public Service Union (GPSU) has requested an urgent meeting for overdue negotiations on wages, salaries and allowances for the years 2020 and 2021.

The union on Saturday released a July 7, 2021 letter, which was written to the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Public Service, to seek a meeting this week on the negotiations.
