*Govt Rejects Teachers Unions Request For Urgent Crisis Meeting* *Follow Pindula on WhatsApp for daily new updates* https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029Va84dngJP21B2nWeyM3v?ev The government said that it will not hold direct talks with teachers’ representatives after teachers’ unions wrote a letter dated February 13, requesting an urgent crisis meeting. Civil Service Commission secretary Jonathan Wutawunashe wrote back to the PTUZ saying that the Commission will not be meeting with teachers unions. Said Wutawunashe: ---------- *HOT DEALS:* *itel A70 - (128GB, 3GB RAM) $89,* *itel A70 - (256GB, 4GB RAM) $99* *itel P40 (128GB, 4GB), (6000mAh) $99* *itel P40 (64GB, 4G), (6000mAh) $93* Cash on Delivery in Harare & Bulawayo.

You are, therefore, advised to direct your issues to the National Joint Negotiating Forum. However, the Progressive Teachers’ Union (PTUZ) secretary general Raymond Majongwe said that the government’s response was disrespectful and spiteful. He said: > We believe it was disrespectful and spiteful for the government to back down on promises that they made by hiding behind the law. The law does not stop the government from engaging their workers. The law, as designed by the legislator under statutory 141 of 1996, does not bar the government from engaging its workers. Teachers launched a week-long strike at the beginning of February demanding better working conditions. The strike was eventually called off after the government warned striking teachers that they would lose their February salaries. *Related:* *Teachers’ Unions Request Urgent Crisis Meeting With Govt* *More: Newsday* _If you found this article useful_ *Please support Pindula by forwarding to friends and groups*
