All agencies looked the other way, allowing union to falter for decades in its obligations

Feb 11, 2024 Letters

Dear Editor 

Kaieteur News – So the not-doings of the union is hung out in the public domain.  No filings of legally required financial records to state agencies for decades.  What a state affairs for an entity tasked with instilling in children to always do the right thing.

But it must be queried how could this situation be allowed to go on for all this time?  Just what steps did the state agencies take to ensure the union was compliant in its responsibilities?  This is an indictment not only on the union but the state agencies, which it is perceived were respectively complicit, for decades, in allowing this situation to persist.  And what of the Trade Union Recognition Board? This seems to be a classic case of an all round break down in responsibilities or looking the other way.

An entity, which can be regarded as illegal, collecting huge sums in dues and not fulfilling its own constitution and that of the country cannot be allowed to continue.  It must put its house in order before the dues status quo and restoration is considered.

What is the situation with other entities collecting workers’ dues?  Are the statutory obligations fulfilled?
