-no agreement yet on period for negotiations
The second day of conciliation talks between the Guyana Teachers’ Union (GTU) and the Ministry of Education (MoE) ended again without agreement on the way forward and another meeting is set for Monday
The key issue is the period for negotiation for collective bargaining. The union is pushing for 2019 to 2023. The ministry is saying only 2024 is under consideration. The union has however shown some flexibility.
In briefing Stabroek News on the meeting yesterday, GTU president Mark Lyte said that the parties again could not reach an agreement, resulting in the stalemate. In the meanwhile a strike called by the union continues.
