Teachers will again take to the streets in protest action against the government for collective bargaining talks as per the Guyana Teachers’ Union (GTU)’s initial proposal. This was announced yesterday by GTU President Mark Lyte.
According to Lyte, the teachers will be protesting as part of their strike action.
“We will be very strategic this time around to ensure that there is proper balance between the strike and the protests. We intend, in the new week, to protest for two days and have our teachers rest as necessary. So come Monday, our teachers who are on strike will be protesting at various location of importance, with the hope that we can garner the attention of the administration,” he said.
The GTU head further acknowledged that some teachers will not participate in the strike action and noted the GTU’s respect of that decision. Earlier this week the announcement was made that industrial action would recommence from Thursday last and would continue until further notice.
