Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>The Amalgamated Rural Teachers Union of Zimbabwe (ARTUZ) has threatened a full-blown strike by teachers after the Government deducted salaries from teachers.<\/p>\n

According to various teachers\u2019 unions, the Public Service Commission (PSC) deducted between $11 000 and $17 000 from teachers\u2019 salaries.<\/p>\n

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:<\/p>\n

[The Government] increased salaries for soldiers but deducted salaries from [teachers]. This provocation will force teachers to go on strike.<\/p>\n

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\u2019t care.<\/p>\n

On Monday, the Progressive Teachers Union of Zimbabwe (PTUZ) said other Government employees (presumably soldiers), had been paid $80 000 each while teachers\u2019 salaries were deducted. PTUZ said:<\/p>\n

Teachers have just been deflated by salaries ranging from RTGS$5k-19k four days after other government employees got circa $80k.<\/p>\n

The discrimination is resident evil type\u2026 Clearly, education matters very little.<\/p>\n

PSC Permanent Secretary Jonathan Wutawunashe confirmed the deductions. He said:<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n
