A number of civil society groups including the GHRA and the GTUC have expressed grave concern over the negative impacts of the recently concluded teacher strike and the government’s handling of the issue.
These observations were set out in a statement yesterday from the General Workers Union, the Guyana Human Rights Association (GHRA), the Guyana Organization of Indigenous People, the Guyana Teachers’ Union (GTU), the Guyana Trades Union Congress (GTUC), Red Thread, Policy Forum Guyana and Transparency Institute Guyana Inc.
The groups said that the statement was prepared before the end of the strike on Friday and then amended.
