Dear Editor,
The strike and unjustifiable and untenable demands by the GTU — despite Government bending over backwards to negotiate and facilitate the GTU, in accordance with the law — are clearly a pre-emptive political gambit to derail elections 2025. They are the first of many blackmailing actions meant to drive the Government to its knees.
The GTU is, however, an illegal entity, and should have no bargaining power. And one wonders what they have done with the contributions of the teachers, made over many years; which should have been used to sustain teachers during strike actions, instead of Government expending taxpayers’ money to pay them for no work, even as the teachers are jeopardising the education of those same taxpayers.
Yours truly,
Attiya Baksh
