*Govt Raises Soldiers' Salaries, Teacher Unions Claim* *Follow Pindula on WhatsApp for daily new updates* https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029Va84dngJP21B2nWeyM3v?li The Amalgamated Rural Teachers Union of Zimbabwe (ARTUZ) has threatened a full-blown strike by teachers after the Government deducted salaries from teachers. According to various teachers’ unions, the Public Service Commission (PSC) deducted between $11 000 and $17 000 from teachers’ salaries. ---------- Latest itel A06 on Pindula: 32GB storage, 4GB RAM $69 USD WhatsApp: +263715068543 Calls: 0772464000 ---------- ARTUZ also claimed that the Government hiked salaries for soldiers at a time it was deducting the earnings of teachers who failed to report for duty in February due to financial incapacitation. ARTUZ said: > [The Government] increased salaries for soldiers but deducted salaries from [teachers]. This provocation will force teachers to go on strike. > The threats and implementation of no work no pay will not stop a full-blown strike. We have waited for a solution but this Government doesn’t care. On Monday, the Progressive Teachers Union of Zimbabwe (PTUZ) said other Government employees (presumably soldiers), had been paid $80 000 each while teachers’ salaries were deducted. PTUZ said: > Teachers have just been deflated by salaries ranging from RTGS$5k-19k four days after other government employees got circa $80k. > The discrimination is resident evil type… Clearly, education matters very little. PSC Permanent Secretary Jonathan Wutawunashe confirmed the deductions. He said: > It is true that Government is serious about the no work no pay principle because it is the only one that is fair to those who show up at work. > There’s no justice and there is no logic in treating the civil servant who reports for duty the same way you treat the one who does not show up. *More: Pindula News* _If you found this article useful_ *Please support Pindula by forwarding to friends and groups*
