The Guyana Trade Union Congress while congratulating Guyana’s 9th executive President Irfaan Ali said they expect each new government to learn from the mistakes of their predecessors and therefore better serve the people.
According to a statement from the umbrella Trade Union Movement,
the expectation of President Ali’s Regime is no different. The Union said the fundamental principles of the GTUC remains the well-being of all and the creation of a society that will bring peace, stability, wealth, a living wage to all, and a society that will protect its most vulnerable.
GTUC stands ready and prepared to continue its representation of workers’ rights and all issues affecting the working class of Guyana (past, present, and potential). The GTUC applauds the establishment of an independent Ministry of Labour as a step in the right direction and one that will guarantee workers’ interest are better served and protected. This is now a time for healing from the differences and rancour, even as we respect the rights of others to resolve outstanding controversies surrounding the 2020 election. Presidential leadership towards this mending is integral for moving this government and country forward.
The Irfaan Ali regime will now be held accountable for managing the interests of all Guyanese whose lives, livelihood, and future are in the hands of the government he heads.
