Lucas rejects GPSU claims of hostile environment at GRA

The Guyana Public Service Union (GPSU) yesterday accused Chairman of the Guyana Revenue Authority (GRA) Board Rawle Lucas of creating a hostile environment for staffers of the agency but he accused the union of insincerity while saying that he was improving conditions for workers. “The union is only doing this out of self-interest. It is not about ensuring the welfare of the staff… the union seems to be unhappy about something…,” Lucas told Stabroek News yesterday. “The Guyana Public Service Union wishes to note its observations that the external interference of Mr Rawle Lucas, Chairman of the Governing Board of the Revenue Authority has moved the environment of the organization to a hostile and insecure one for staff at all levels evidently resulting in low morale and motivation,” the union said yesterday in a statement, while adding that it has raised the matter with President David Granger.
