GTU suggests ‘Obeah Lady’ was organised by gov’t

ongoing teachers’ strike action could be heard supporting the ‘obeah lady’ and encouraging the individual to perform the ritual.

The countrywide strike action by teachers for improved wages and salaries has entered its 10th day.

The strike has since turned into a political one with prominent members of the People’s National Congress Reform participating, including Gary Best who was involved in an accident that caused the death of popular cyclist, Jude Bentley.

The credibility of the union has also come into sharp focus. The union has failed to file audited statements with the Auditor General and they have also failed to make submissions to the Deeds and Commercial Registry for more than a decade, which means it can be struck off the register for trade unions.

Additionally, the GTU General Secretary, Coretta McDonald is accused of flouting the union rules by also being an Opposition Member of Parliament.
