GPSU CHIDES GOV’T OVER PLANS TO RECRUIT FOREIGN HEALTH CARE WORKERS………….. The Guyana Public Service Union (GPSU) has accused the government of being disloyal to its own healthcare workers by recruiting approximately 500 healthcare professionals from Bangladesh instead of improving the wages and salaries of local healthcare staff. This critique highlights a growing tension between the government’s recruitment strategies and the union’s demands for better compensation and working conditions for local healthcare workers. The GPSU’s stance emphasizes the need for investment in the regional healthcare workforce to ensure sustainable development and morale within the sector. Travis Chase offers a detailed report on the union’s criticisms and the broader implications for healthcare provision and worker satisfaction in Guyana.
