The Guyana Teachers Union (GTU) seems to be on the verge of accepting a multi-year salary increase proposal from the government, which would give teachers a 10% pay hike for 2024 and raises over the next two years not lower than what other public sector workers receive, sources have said.
“The offer was not accepted as yet, because there are still some discussions… The government’s proposal … for the multi-year agreement [was] three years at different rates, with a clause that if other public servants are given a higher rate than in the agreement for the given years, then GTU’s will also be upped to that…,” a source close to the negotiations told the Stabroek News yesterday.
