May Christmas spirit inspire unity, compassion – GTUC

As Guyanese celebrate the holy season of Christmas, the Guyana Trades Union Congress (GTUC) extends warm greetings to workers, families, and all citizens across our nation. Christmas is a time that calls us to reflect on peace, justice, compassion, and shared responsibility – values that are especially important in these challenging times…
…The GTUC reminds the Government of Guyana that economic growth must translate into improved living standards for all. With national wealth comes social and economic responsibility. Fair wages, meaningful social protection, respect for collective bargaining, and policies that cushion citizens from the rising cost of living are not optional. They are obligations.
As we reflect on the message of Christmas, we urge our leaders to act with empathy and urgency, ensuring that development is inclusive and that no one is left behind. A nation cannot truly prosper when its workers and vulnerable citizens are burdened by inequality and neglect.
The Guyana Trades Union Congress remains committed to advocating for justice, dignity, and fairness for all workers. As we look ahead, we hope that 2026 will be brighter than 2025 – marked by dialogue, equity, and policies that uplift every Guyanese.
May the spirit of Christmas inspire unity, compassion, and meaningful action for the good of our nation. (Excerpt)
