ST. GEORGE’S, Grenada, Oct 15, CMC – Teachers entered the second day of industrial action on Tuesday over the on-payment of salaries to some of their colleagues with the Grenada Union of Teachers (GUT) indicating that it is prepared to take further action “to ensure a speedy resolution to this critical issue”.
GUT president, Jude Bartholomew, said the union for several months had been pointing out that several teachers were not receiving salaries in line with the scheduled bi-weekly payment.
The union said that the delay in the payment for the affected teachers began in August and the Ministry of Education is yet to provide a definitive explanation.
The non-payment is affecting both permanent and temporary teachers and the GUT begam the industrial action earlier this month with members wearing union t-shirts.
