The opposition is engaging the GTUC while it still awaits a date ...

law.

The GTUC holds every administration accountable ‒ including sitting and former government and opposition ‒ for respecting the role of stakeholders’ in society, the inalienable rights of citizens, and prudent management of the nation’s resources under the law. These remain our permanent interests in pursuit of a just society.

With the aforementioned being said it would be remiss not to note the shrewd politics the opposition is playing. While the GTUC still awaits a date with the APNU+AFC government for engagement across the table as a stakeholder in society with specific constitutional responsibilities, the opposition is having engagement with the trade union and civil society. What this is saying to society, and it must not be ignored, is that the opposition’s conduct in this specific case is giving meaning to Article 13 in the Guyana Constitution.

Yours faithfully, Lincoln Lewis General Secretary GTUC
