GTUC says public service pay rise should have been higher considering budget figure – -seeking meeting with President

The Guyana Trades Union Congress (GTUC) yesterday wrote President Irfaan Ali seeking an urgent meeting on the 7% wage hike for public servants and contending that a higher award should have been made in keeping with the sum allocated in this year’s budget
GTUC General Secretary, Lincoln Lewis, in the letter released to the press yesterday,  said that it has had discussions with the Guyana Teachers’ Union (GTU) and the Guyana Public Service Union (GPSU) and they have rejected the 7% in light of “rampant” inflation and the rise in the cost of living.
