The Guyana Public Service Union (GPSU) has said that Chair of the Trade Union Recognition Board Dr Nanda Gopaul has still to acknowledge a complaint lodged by it against the government over its requests to begin negotiations on wages and salaries.
“No, we have not received a response or acknowledgement from either the board or the [Public Service Ministry],” GPSU Vice President Dawn Gardner told Stabroek News on Friday.
The union had written Gopaul on July 13 recommending that the Trade Union Recognition and Certification Board enforces Section 23 (3) of the Trade Union Recognition Act 1997 and takes action to strongly condemn the government’s failure to engage the union in negotiations.
