Ministry denies dragging feet on strike at Linden utility

The Ministry of Labour yesterday denied claims by the Guyana Bauxite and General Workers Union (GB&GWU) that it had been dragging its feet over a strike by workers at the Linden power company.

In a statement, the ministry expressed disappointment at the October 06, 2022, Stabroek News article entitled `Linden utility workers continuing strike over interim management body’ in which the union’s dissatisfaction with the ministry was stated.

Despite a conciliation meeting at the Ministry of Labour on October 3rd, the Linden Utility Services Coop Society Ltd  (LUSCSL ) is still to say whether it accepts the proposed terms of resumption for the workers to return.
