The Ministry of Labour (MoL) is refuting the claims made by the head of the Guyana Teachers’ Union (GTU) over the timing of its proposal in recent conciliation talks with the Ministry of Education (MoE).
In a release yesterday, the MoL sought to correct and address what it referred to as “inaccurate assertions” under the headline “Stalemate continues in teachers’ pay talks” by GTU President, Dr. Mark Lyte, and published by Stabroek News on Tuesday, May 21.
The release specifically highlighted the following claim: “Well, the Chief Labour Officer came with some consideration, but it was only fair that the GTU put its position on the table too. So that’s when we took our position. We were never asked to put our position. We put our position when we thought the time was right.”
