"No Pay No Work," Unpaid Teachers Say.

It's a week now since teachers suspended their strike and decided to go back to their schools. Most of them had hopes that TSC will pay them September salary which was not paid due to their strike. This has not been the case up to today. TSC said that they cannot pay for services not given. This has made the teachers through their union to say that on Monday they will not go to schools if their September salary will not be paid.

The teachers union has been having conversations with TSC about the accrued teachers salary but no decision has been reached. Both parties are pulling on their side. This has made the teachers union to say that they will go back to court and report TSC for not honoring the court order.

The court had ordered that teachers be paid their September salary if they resume schools before a period of 90 days is over.

It is out of this that the union leaders have asked all the unpaid teachers not to go to school as from Monday if they will not be paid. It should be remembered that teachers said that they will never go for strike called by their leaders . This is because their union if teachers leaders called of their strike even before they were given their 50-60 salary increment. Now the decision lies on the teachers. Will they listen to their leaders and boycott classes or they will ignore them.
