Dr Smith-Graham never threatened salary deductions for striking teachers – FWSC

The Fair Wages and Salaries Commission (FWSC) has denied media reports that its Chief Executive, Dr George Smith-Graham, has threatened deducting the salaries of teachers engaged in the ongoing nationwide strike.“The Fair Wages and Salaries Commission wishes to state that our Chief Executive did not make the comments attributed to him in the said media report,” the release said.

FWSC therefore appealed to the public and media to disregard the purported comments and any conclusions drawn from them, stressing that they do not represent a statement by the Chief Executive or the Commission’s position on the teachers’ industrial action.
