It called on society to give the government a chance to do what is right even as it encouraged the opposition to remain vigilant as they are elected and paid to do.

“GTUC looks forward for broadening of the national conversation with the involvement of civil society. As we call for the respect for the Constitution and its various articles, can we also call for and respect the importance of Article 13 which outlines the Principal Political Objective of the State that mandates an inclusionary democracy where citizens and their organisations will be involved in the management and decision-making processes of the State that directly impact their well-being,” the GTUC said.

“It is time to meet with civil society, the representatives of the people whose lives are to be directly affected by what is happening. They have concerns. Society must be included,” it declared.

In welcoming Wednesday’s meeting, the GTUC added that it was a good and necessary sign of the times to see the coalition united in its approach to meet with the opposition.
