…but prepared for adverse outcomeAlthough a ruling in the matter involving the Teaching Service Commission (TSC) and the Guyana Teachers’ Union (GTU) is still pending, the latter body is already prepared for any possible outcome.Once the ruling is in favour of the GTU it is expected that the TSC will be required to review its 2015 list of senior teachers’ promotion.But according to GTU President, Mr. Mark Lyte, the Union at its fifth biennial conference in March discussed some actions that could be taken against the TSC if the court ruling is not favourable.“If it doesn’t go in our favour, we know exactly what course of action we will take to make sure that the TSC is addressed. We have already stated what course of action will be taken,” Lyte asserted.When asked to divulge the possible course of action, Lyte said that he was not in a position to do so since it will have to first be sanctioned at a Special General Council meeting.“When the time comes we will be happy to inform precisely what will be done,” said the GTU President.This publication understands a ruling into the matter will be soon handed down.The TSC is a body task with appointing, promoting and disciplining the majority of teachers in the public education system. The Union has a representative on the Commission and it was through this representation it was able to deduce that the promotion process for 2015 and perhaps for years prior was flawed.Because of the existing rift between the TSC and GTU,Cheap Hockey Jerseys, communication between the two became virtually non-existent. “I cannot say there is any relationship,” said Lyte as he pointed out that “normally at our conferences we invite the Ministry of Education and the TSC to make presentations…the fact that the TSC did not show up there is no relationship.”The Union in July 2015 filed an injunction in order to have the final list of senior teachers’ promotion for that year be reviewed. This, according to Lyte, was based on the fact that the Union was reliably informed that teachers were not treated fairly during the promotion process.According to Lyte, although discussions were held with the Ministry of Education and the TSC to see how the matter could have been resolved outside of court, the TSC decided to follow through on court action. “Unfortunately, the Teaching Service Commission refused to negotiate and preferred that the matter be stretched out before the court,” said Lyte.He added, “we have waited for many months and now the decision is in the hands of the Chief Justice who will be making her ruling very shortly…so we are at the decision stage, and we would like to say to those teachers who have been waiting for almost one year to be a little more patient, because the ruling will be given very shortly.”The prolonged court matter has essentially stalled teachers’ promotions for 2015 and this year as well.The GTU had for seven consecutive weeks, earlier this year, protested outside the Brickdam, Georgetown office of the TSC to emphasize its frustration with its operation. The union had even called on Government to dissolve the Leila Ramson-led Commission.“We have had no response coming from either the Ministry of Education or the Ministry of the Presidency or in fact any Minister who have seen the plight of our teachers,” said Lyte.The union had even threatened to take its action to another level with strike action. This, however, did not materialise. In fact following its biennial conference there were no more protest action since according to Lyte, “having realised that the court matter was nearing completion we decided to wait on the outcome of the court matter rather than continue our protest action.”
