GPSU slams Jagdeo over ‘ignorance’ about constitutional and legal rights of trade unions

The Guyana Public Service Union (GPSU) is adamant that Vice President Bharrat Jagdeo ignorantly spoke of matters relating to trade unions when he posited that they were making unrealistic demands and politically aligned to the opposition.

This is according to a press release from the union in response to an article published by Demerara Waves on November 9, under the caption “Govt reluctant to negotiate unrealistic wage demands with opposition-aligned trade unions – Jagdeo”.

The release said Jagdeo’s statements were tantamount to excuses for his government’s known breaches of the Constitution and Laws of Guyana.
