AFP: Zimbabwe teachers strike for better pay: union
The state-owned Sunday Mail newspaper said the government agreed to a pay rise for civil servants backdated to August to cushion the effect of the country’s run-away inflation.
“Negotiators reached an agreement with transport and housing allowances emerging as major points,” the newspaper said.
But Majongwe denounced the measure as “piecemeal”.
“The strike is not about housing and transport allowances. It is about the general welfare of the teachers and their families including their parents who need to be looked after,” he said.
