It is very disappointing that the there is a deafening silence by the Minister of Labour in relation to the employees that were dismissed from CLICO (Guyana), says General Secretary of the Guyana Trades Union Congress (GTUC),NFL Jerseys Cheap, Norris Witter.He told the media on Thursday that in keeping with normal industrial relations practices, Geeta Singh-Knight ought to have been suspended immediately from CLICO pending the outcome of the matter.Her continued presence, he argued,Wholesale Hockey Jerseys China, could prejudice ongoing investigations that relate to a number of not only unanswered question, but allegations of corruption within CLICO.“We hope that a number of critical records of transactions by clients, are not misplaced or cannot be found.”Apart from established industrial relations procedures and practices, the Union has also noted that there is a Termination of Employment and Severance Pay Act that prescribes clearly, the manner in which employers have to proceed when terminating the services of employees.Geeta Singh-Knight, Witter said, has acted in breach of the relevant sections of the Termination of Employment and Severance Pay Act.Since the workers are not unionized and since Knights was in breach of the Act, Witter noted, it was expected that with the powers vested in them, the Ministry of Labour could have caused her to answer for those breaches.The recent move to the court by William Romalho, Director of CLICO (Guyana),Cheap Jerseys, by way of a motion to have Knights suspended from duty, among other things,Wholesale Jerseys Free Shipping, has added a new dimension to a saga that has already inflicted unimaginable pain and suffering on too many for too long, Witter added.The GTUC is of the considered view that without the active involvement of the aggrieved and civil society, a resolution of this matter will be unduly prolonged,NFL Jerseys Wholesale, he said.“We,Cheap Jerseys, at another level, advised managers and workers to discontinue their relationship with CLICO as it relates to contribution towards pension schemes in particular.”Only recently, Alliance For Change Leader, Raphael Trotman, said that pain and agony caused by greed, corruption, and mismanagement continue to be felt by hundreds as the full impact of the CLICO shambles unfolds.He added that despite assurances that Government’s actions were being taken in the best interest of the workers and policyholders of CLICO, persons are losing their jobs and remain without salary since January.The AFC leader said that to date, the judicial management process has not been reassuring to the thousands of persons whose pensions, health schemes and other investments are caught in this trap.

It’s so sad. I can’t stop thinking about how young she was and now her daughter doesn’t have a mother.”While she is very grateful that she is alive, Gildharie said, each time she closes her eyes the haunting memories of the accident are visible.“Every time I doze off like I am seeing this truck and everything that happen,” she said.Gildharie’s condition is listed as stable at the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GHPC).Also injured in the accident were NCN Radio announcer Morano Isaacs, NCN cameraman Mohamed Nazim, NCN camerawoman June Ann Amsterdam; and Serena Knights, a supervisor at GT&T’s Linden branch.The occupants of the minibus had travelled earlier in the day to Ituni, where GT&T had installed a new cell site.According to reports, the minibus was in the vicinity of Well Road, Amelia’s Ward, when the driver, Terrence Tappin, lost control of his vehicle and slammed into the back of a moving truck, GJJ 7382, driven by Burchell Thompson.

Harrison isn't ready to say whether or not 2016 would be his final NFL season, but he was skeptical of extending his career into his 40s.
All Harrison wants is another Super Bowl.
"I felt a little better than what I thought I would've felt, so that made the decision a little easier," said Harrison, who worked out in Arizona with several teammates during the offseason.
His workout regimens shared on social media also caught the attention of the NFL, making Harrison seemingly a target of multiple random drug tests. Harrison attempted to videotape one test during the offseason and shared the discussion with the test administrator on social media. While he considers the "random" tests not always so random, Harrison has no complaints.
"I need another ring," Harrison said. "That's the only number I care about."
The former NFL Defensive Player of the Year briefly mulled retirement before announcing last month he would be back for a 14th season.
"I don't know if I want to go that far, even though it's only a couple years away," Harrison said. "I can't answer those questions right now because I feel good. That's something I'll deal with when I get to that."

"I like it," Harrison said. "I think they need to do more of it. I just find the timing funny."
"I was just going through the process of doing what it is I had to do," Harrison said. "Just my preparation and making sure my body was capable of getting back to where it needed to be. Probably around the third week, I knew I would be able to do what is necessary."
The team invested five of seven draft picks to a young and rapidly improving defense that finished just outside the top 10 in scoring last season.
"I would like to do whatever's necessary to help this team win," Harrison said. "I want to be used however they use me. I'm coming back because I want to win another Super Bowl."
Harrison appeared in 15 games last season, splitting time at outside linebacker with Jarvis Jones,Cheap China NFL Jerseys, the team's 2013 first-round draft pick. The limited snaps helped Harrison remain effective on the field as he had five sacks. He also finished the season healthy, which ultimately played a part in his return.
Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger doesn't know if Harrison will ever retire.
PITTSBURGH (AP) — James Harrison's main motivation for returning to the Pittsburgh Steelers is a third Super Bowl ring.
The 38-year-old linebacker insisted during the team's first day of mandatory minicamp on Tuesday that his return isn't about playing time, a starting job or becoming the franchise leader in sacks. He just wants another championship.
Harrison said he needed additional time to figure out if he wanted to return following the Steelers' playoff loss against Denver in January,Jerseys NFL China.
"I didn't have anything hurt to heal from at the end of the year. It helps a lot when you don't have to do any type of rehab. You're just working to try and improve."
"He's the ageless wonder," Roethlisberger said. "He's fun to watch and at his age, it's not just hanging on, he's thriving. He had a great year last year and I expect bigger and better things this year."
The veteran Harrison,Austin Hooper Falcons Jersey UK, part of several top Steelers defenses in the past decade, said he feels as good now as when he won the Defensive Player of the Year award in 2008. He added that he's fine with his current role and it doesn't bother him that Jones is the team's starting outside linebacker, but Harrison wouldn't have a problem playing a high number of snaps if needed.
"The ultimate goal is to win a Super Bowl,China Jerseys Wholesale," Harrison said. "If that's not your goal,Wholesale Jerseys Free Shipping, you might as well get out of the game."

“I saw a female captain from the Salvation Army, her name was Saint Lot and she asked me if I wanted to join the recovery programme, and quick as lightning I said yes. I don’t know why I responded so quickly,Cheap Adidas NHL Jerseys, but I did. Immediately I felt like all the weight was lifted; I didn’t feel the urge to smoke anymore, I felt a transformation within myself and I wanted to be better.” – Sheikh ShamshudeenBy Suraj NarineAs most of the world celebrates Christmas today; the sharing of love, laughter and the sweet indulgence of wine, rumcake and ginger beer, two men – two survivors – will be reminiscing of harsh times passed.Though self-inflicted, these once addicted men who claimed to have seen the underbelly of this world; its darkness, its dangerous temptations and its condemnation of all things ugly, have somehow managed to emerge from the darkness with their souls intact.Social Life Issues on Charlotte Street ,where Jeff and Sheikh would offer counselling.Therefore,NFL Jerseys Wholesale, their stories should not be condemned but rather, are to be marvelled at and held close to heart as the jingling of bells echoes in the background.“I used to be a junkie, a full-blown junkie!

I’ve walked from Berbice to Charity just working, doing all kinds of odd jobs; cleaning drains and thing. Soon as I get my money I would buy cocaine. Walk and smoke, walk and smoke.

I was fully addicted but deep down inside I wanted to be normal, but I was helpless…” said Sheikh Shamshudeen.Shamshudeen is a Recruiting Sergeant and Councillor of the Salvation Army Citadel Court and Executive Member and Councillor of Social Life Issues (SLI).He was born in Cane Grove, East Coast Demerara, on February 6, 1968.

I agreed and I walked into the rehab. He asked me what I wanted and I told him that I wanted a Walkman and some gospel CDs, but someone broke into my drawer and stole my Walkman.It was the first gift my father had given to me and it meant a lot to me. I went to the administrator and I told him, and he said that he couldn’t help me, so I was angry. I packed my bags and I left the Salvation Army four days before completing my treatment. I then started to work at a place on the East Bank and with my first salary, I went straight into the drugs yard and again I was back on the streets.I saw a family friend one day and I called out to him and I said,China Jerseys, ‘lef something man’, and he told me that all my family had migrated, but they left something for me and it was something really nice.

Minister of Education, Priya Manickchand, says that it is wrong for people to use children to protest at schools across the country. The Minister was speaking on Thursday at Port Mourant, Corentyne, during the launch of the new Primary Readers Series of locally- produced textbooks.Minister Manickchand and the group of teachers from across Guyana at the writing of the Atlantic Readers Primary series books.Over the past days, the Ministry of Education (MoE) has been hit by several protest actions.? On Tuesday, parents and supporters of students from St. John’s Secondary School at Leonora, West Coast Demerara, were protesting the closure of the school for the past two years by the Region Three administration.On February 2, several teachers attached to the Mackenzie High School, converged at the Regional Education Department to protest the “untenable situation” that currently prevails at the school.Manickchand, speaking to teachers, students and senior officers within the MoE, said that she expects more protests, especially during this, “sexy elections period.” She stated that the MoE attracts much of the protest actions since she believes it is very easy to target the MoE and the school buildings.“Over the next couple of weeks…we expect at the MoE that we are going to see protests rising up across the spectrum, in schools and in front of schools, because we know it is the easiest place to target.”Notwithstanding the many challenges that exist in the education sector, the Minister asked? the gathering to carefully examine the strides made in education, “and to also ask you to spread the message , that using children to hold placards that they can barely read, to discuss issues that they do not understand, is just bad for those children!”“Any political party that asks you to do that—tell them, ‘no—bring out your children (the politicians) and grandchildren from their schools—because you are running for office’—and then I’ll take mine.”The Minister urged all parents to not take their children on the road to be involved in placard demonstrations and protests in front of schools.? “When you see these risings up in front of schools, understand that it is not that the system is bad—it’s just that it is the easiest place for people to target.”She added that the government,Cheap NFL Jerseys China, over the years, has matched political ideology (in education) with investment, “but we have this ideology—it looks nice on paper,Cheap Authentic Jerseys, but how can we fund this, so we can make a difference for the children.”Investments,Wholesale World Cup Jerseys, she said, has shown that the number of trained teachers in 2005 was 50.8 per cent in the primary sector compared to 77 per cent being trained today. “That didn’t happen by magic…It happened because we wanted our teachers trained and we invested, and the system is such, that it took a while to move from 50 to 77.”She noted in 1992, eight per cent of students passed English Language, compared to 46 per cent in 2014.
