‘Aluta Continua’ – Teacher unions insist strike continues after inconclusive talks with Gov’t

The three main pre-tertiary teacher unions have declared that their nationwide indefinite strike will continue as a recent meeting with government failed to produce concrete commitments on their outstanding grievances.

These include payment of promotion arrears, placement of promoted teachers on the payroll, the deprived-area allowance, and the opening of negotiations on a new collective agreement on conditions of service.

Anaba listed three clear requirements for any resolution which he said include ensuring that all promoted teachers are validated by the Controller, appear on the correct salary scale on the payroll, and receive confirmation that the arrears have been credited to their accounts.
