The Federation of Independent Trade Unions of Guyana (FITUG) says President Donald Ramotar is the symbol of great, legitimate, working-class and national expectations.
It notes that Mr. Ramotar’s qualification in economics, his tenure as an analyst and journalist and his participation in the corporate business world, indicate his well rounded capabilities.
Fitug says the re-configuration of parliamentary authority will test president Ramotar’s national stewardship and challenge his election campaign promise to promote the constitution’s “inclusionary democracy”.
It believes that President Ramotar has chosen to retain those cabinet members and parliamentarians he evidently considers as “tried and trusted”.
Fitug has suggested that President Ramotar invite the Labour movement to participate in an exploratory session, with the objective of addressing immediate concerns and promoting the elusive trade union unity.
