Mr. Patrick M

The 2020 Festive Season is one that would have varying experiences for different people. Nevertheless, on behalf of the Members of the Executive Council of the Guyana Public Service Union I consider one aspect that would be common to all and in this regard, I am extending to you our members best wishes first and foremost for your safety and good health and that you and your families and love ones are well protected from the deadly Covid-19 Virus.

Drastically different from previous occasions in our lifetime we now have restrictions on our activities and posture. The cancellation of traditional Christmas parties and the situation being further compounded by the non-payment of improved wages and salaries in an ever increasing economic environment. Additionally, they have to work in an infectious atmosphere without the recognition and compensation of risk allowances to front line workers.

This Christmas many of our members who are essential front line workers, in the health sector are at grave risk doing their best to contain the Corona Virus and in so doing are at serious risk, significantly restricted even in their spare time to the normal enjoyment and sharing experience with families and friends on this occasion.

Those in the revenue collection areas, transportation and security sectors, unavoidably, have to interface with people, inspect goods etc, and in so doing are exposed to becoming infected with the deadly Coronavirus.

Notwithstanding the obvious and necessity of their involvement and risks to which they are exposed in order to keep the operations of government going, they have been treated most insensitively and uncaring by their employer. In addition, the many Public Servants who were wantonly dismissed from the Public Service without due process. This action nullifies the statement and the large portrait which states that the President is a “President for All”. This poor treatment has been ongoing.

The escalation of this deadly virus which ought to have attracted a more responsible and professional conduct, has not been taken with the seriousness with which it ought to have been treated.

In 2020 we had great hopes in achieving improved conditions in the quality of life and welfare of the people we represent. Nevertheless, we will endeavor to have collective decision making at all levels. We envision unity, solidarity and good governance. We expect the Government also to do its part, leading by example and take responsibility for fair and equitable treatment of its most valuable resources, human resources –its workers, without which no government can success, much less, function.

As we celebrate Christmas this year, I would like to take this opportunity to wish all of you and your families a Merry Christmas on behalf of my family, the Union’s Executive Council and myself. I hope that this time of goodwill brings happiness, peace and love to your homes.

Once again A Safe and Merry Christmas, Peace and Goodwill to All.
