Execution of duties by Guyana Teachers’ Union (GTU) newly elected Central Executive Officers is stalled because the High Court approved an interim injunction filed by three union members.
The Ex-parte application for Interim Injunction was filed by Milne Seymour, Raelene Phillips and Selwyn Seymour. Milne Seymour was one of the nominees for Union president at the recent elections.
This action stemmed from discrepancies in the recent elections. It is alleged that some members did not their receive ballots on elections’ day.
The injunction prohibits the newly elected officials from exercising powers and functions as the Central Executive Officers of the Guyana Teachers’ Union for the term 2012-2014.
The body is also restrained from purporting to act for and on behalf of the Union. They cannot exercise any executive functions and or authority which vests in the organs of the GTU until the hearing and determination of a Summons returnable for May 15.
All parties are expected to appear before Justice Brassington Reynolds on May 15 at the High Court.
