President of the Guyana Teachers’ Union (GTU), Mark Lyte yesterday said that internal discussions on the latest government multi-year offer will conclude tomorrow and a decision will then be taken on the way forward.
Divisions have arisen in the GTU over the planned acceptance of the deal which includes a 10% increase in salaries for this year.
These discussions are essential for gauging the membership’s response to the proposal. The consultations are expected to conclude by tomorrow, at which point the union will evaluate whether further negotiations with the Ministry are necessary.
