Reply to "GPSU street protest attracts small turn out"

My solidarity goes to the public servants. I'm sure the turnout for upcoming marches will be bigger. The police gave the GPSU short notice for the last march.

One issue that is sure to galvanize more public servants to march is President Ramotar's announcement that soldiers and policemen are to receive a 1-month bonus plus 5 percent salary increase.

People are going to see this for what it is: a Machiavellian tactic by the government to divide and rule. But that tactic will not produce the desired result.

Soldiers and policemen have family, relatives and friends in the public service and will not allow themselves to be used to break up peaceful marching.
