Confusion mars teachers’ strike
NewsDay Staff ·
The planned strike by teachers appeared to have flopped yesterday amid apparent confusion over which instruction to follow between the two rival teachers’ organisations that had issued conflicting directives on Monday.
The Progressive Teachers’ Union of Zimbabwe (PTUZ) called for a strike to commence yesterday while the Zimbabwe Teachers’ Union (Zimta) ordered teachers to remain at work until further notice.
The teachers, earning around $200 per month, are demanding salary increments in tandem with the poverty datum line, currently pegged at $500.
