In an article today in the Guyana Times, the GTUC stated that the AFC proposals, regarding Public Service Wage Increases in talks with the President, are in conflict with Articles 13 and 149 of the Constitution, Section 23 of the Trade Union Recognition Act, and ILO Conventions 87 and 98.
According to GTUC, AFC must also be aware that its actions may also be interpreted as being supportive of poor governance, breach of industrial practices, and giving President Ramotar encouragement to micro-manage by ignoring the respective ministerial portfolios. βImportantly, such actions also leave no room to appeal to the presidential office if and when the need arises.β
