With the last quarter of the year approaching, neither the Public Service Ministry nor the GPSU appear to be keen on pushing for free collective bargaining for public servants.
Public Service Minister Sonia Parag yesterday declined to comment on the status of the long-overdue collective bargaining engagement with the Guyana Public Service Union (GPSU) for 2023 and on outstanding matters from previous years.
The minister when contacted by Stabroek News said that she was in a meeting and would not be able to comment on the issue. Further attempts by this newspaper to question if the subject minister would provide information on the matter resulted in a no.
