The Guyana Trades Union Congress (GTUC) says the recent teachers strike has underlined that Guyanese from all races and communities can come together on issues.
The GTUC in a statement yesterday said that whilst giving support to the workers and teachers’ union cause, it joined the court case because it believed that the PPP/C Government was setting out to cut off the lifeblood of the Guyana Teachers’ Union (GTU) and if successful it would have turned on any union challenging their violations and transgressions.
It said that the trade union community must recognise that the GTU has led the way on this landmark victory, which is important not only to Guyana, but the wider Caribbean and CARICOM nations.
