As the cross-examination of Chief Education Officer Saddam Hussain continued yesterday, he could provide no definite answers on whether the Ministry of Education had formally responded to proposals from the GTU that included an appeal for salaries talks
When the documents regarding discussions on salary matters were presented to him, Hussain’s responses revealed inconsistencies in the government’s stance on multi-year agreements and negotiations with the union.
Day three of the ongoing court matter between the Guyana Teachers’ Union (GTU) and the Ministry of Education (MoE), commenced with the CEO being cross-examined on correspondence between the union and the government prior to the February 5 strike by teachers.
