GTU turns down Govt’s 3-year offer of salary increases from 2024 – VP Jagdeo
“We were unprepared to do a multi-year (agreement) going forward, but we conceded that we will now offer the teachers or the GTU a multi-year agreement. We said to them that we can’t go retroactive, but we’re prepared to sign a three-year agreement from beginning 2024, and you have one to two weeks to go back and come up with what you would like to see in the multi-year proposal, and we would start the negotiations. [But] they walked out,” the Vice President noted.
