The union should have seen it fit to offer better advice
Dear Editor,
The casual workers of the Guyana Post Office Corporation (GPOC) had seen it fit to blockade GPO’s Head Office last week along with the Ethnic Relations Commission’s (ERC) Office.
In light of this the union should have seen it fit to offer better advice to these workers as their actions were counter-productive to employer-employee relations. Instead the unions take the contributions of these employees and offer less then nothing as representation.
In this instance the union should have told the workers that according to the rules governing employment of public workers if you are to be employed as a contract worker you would have to beak your years of service to be employed again.
I am also quite certain that the union met with GPOC and would’ve been briefed of the entity’s plan for the workers that were to be laid off; as such it is mind-boggling to figure why these workers have protested at all.
They have now made themselves to look like fools as after all the protesting these very workers are now undergoing training to be re-employed at the same organisation. Responsible leadership by the union could have averted the protests given that instead Mr. Shepherd should have encouraged them to write the test.
