New Zealand Raido International: Fiji teachers still set to strike
The Fiji Teachers Union says public servants are still preparing to strike despite the Public Service Commission’s attempts to discourage workers doing so.
The PSC says it has cancelled all leave for public servants ahead of this month’s planned strikes against a 5 percent pay cut for all public servants and the reduction in their retirement age to 55.
The general secretary of the Fiji Teachers Union, Agni Deo Singh, says it is illegal to cancel workers leave.
