pr-inside.com: Zimbabwe teachers poised for nationwide strike
HARARE, Zimbabwe (AP) – As they marked the annual labor day holiday, teachers said Friday their talks with the government to avert a nationwide strike over pay had not produced an agreement.
The education ministry «was not ready to offer anything» Thursday and a second meeting to include foreign donors and representatives of the United Nations children’s agency was scheduled Monday, said labor leader Raymond Majongwe.
The two main teachers organizations, the Zimbabwe Teachers Association and the Progressive Teachers Union led by Majongwe, have called the strike for May 5, the first day of the new school term. The two unions represent 60,000 members.
