Collective agreements define the rights and obligations of workers` representatives. Most collective agreements provide that notice is given to the employer prior to the labour dispute. The duration of the agreements is set by the parties, including termination or termination. Collective agreements allow the worker to be paid if the worker works the day before and the day after the leave. Guyana became a British colony in 1815, after two centuries of Dutch presence. After the abolition of slavery in 1834, plantation owners imported nearly 250,000 workers from India, but also from Portugal and China, which significantly changed the country`s demographic balance and laid the foundation for persistent ethnic tensions, particularly between Afro-Guyanese and Indo-Guyanese. “We remain committed to freeing up all natural resource contracts,” Trotman said. I can also say that letters have been sent to the oil companies… The responses received so far were that there were no objections to the authorization. All other special leave is taken into account by collective agreements. The laws provide for minimum conditions for service. Individual employment contracts and collective agreements may provide for higher benefits. In October 1992, during the first elections in Guyana, a new National Assembly was elected, internationally recognized as free and fair. Cheddi Jagan was elected president, but died in 1997.
His widow, Janet Jagan, took over as president. In 1999, she resigned due to illness and was replaced by Finance Minister Bharrat Jagdeo, who remained in office after the victory of a PPP coalition in the 2001 elections. “Subject to a written law, any act and procedure….. to the extent possible and appropriate, be heard, appointed and thrown before a single judge… The Minister of Labour has the authority to prescribe the number of hours worked in different occupations/industry. If no working time is required, the hours are agreed by the parties or by collective agreements. For all industries considered a factory, the hours are eight hours per day, unless otherwise stated. Most agreements provide that adjudicator procedures are the final step in the negotiation process. The Minister may also refer matters to arbitration when one or both parties refuse to refer the matter to arbitration and the difference is considered prejudicial to the national interest. Summary judgment is primarily rendered in court actions for which the defendant clearly has no defence or where there is a judgment. The rules of procedure before the Bail Court are described in Order 12 of the High Court Rules, Chapter 3:02 of the laws of Guyana. There are also service contracts that employ people for certain tasks and are paid for the work actually done.
It is accepted that the appeal procedure, including conciliation/mediation, would have been respected prior to the strike action. The Court of Appeal is a “recording court” in that it does not hear oral testimony again, but can re-examine the case on the basis of the evidence contained in the minutes and issue an order that the case may require. Article 123, paragraph 1 of the Guyanese Constitution expressly stipulates that the National Insurance Act provides for thirteen weeks of maternity leave, which begins at least six weeks before the planned birth. In exceptional cases, an additional thirteen weeks are allowed. Contributed by: Mohamed A. Akeel, A.A.
