Scores of teachers continue to join hands in Region Two as the strike for better wages and salaries entered its twelfth day in the Cinderella County.
Yesterday, the size of the assembled strikers was smaller as some of the teachers chose to stay at home rather than going to the picket line. But the teachers, in unison, said they will continue to join hands in the fight against “unfair” and “unjust” wages and salaries.
Head teacher of the CV Nunes Primary, Cheryl Peters-Moore, said that teachers continue to struggle with the rising cost of living and despite those increases every day, teachers continue to receive the same salary in spite of geographic location. She said that single-parent teachers are the ones that are suffering the most since they have to provide money for their children to do extra lessons and their meagre salaries cannot sustain them until their next pay cheque.
