Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>The Amalgamated Rural Teachers Union of Zimbabwe (ARTUZ) has said it is ready to engage government in genuine dialogue to solve the current wage deadlock.<\/p>\n

In a statement on Wednesday, ARTUZ said a hardline approach against educators would not yield a win-win situation, but would prolong the crisis and remove any room for dialogue.<\/p>\n

Teachers embarked on industrial action when schools reopened on 7 February demanding the pre-October 2018 salary of USD540.<\/p>\n

In response, the government then suspended 1 500 teachers and 50 school heads for three months without pay. ARTUZ says the impasse will only make matters worse. Said the union:<\/p>\n

The situation in education is deteriorating at an alarming rate and it is the innocent learner who is most affected. Educators are victimised, threatened, arbitrarily arrested, suspended and expelled unilaterally.<\/p>\n

The education crisis cannot be resolved through threats, suspensions and expulsions, but by genuine dialogue premised on the restoration of the pre-October US$540 salary.<\/p>\n

The educators have approached the courts for redress.<\/p>\n

Artuz accused government of using the divide and rule tactic to continue underpaying workers.<\/p>\n

Government last month offered to increase all civil servants\u2019 salaries by 20% and pay each employee an additional US$100 per month.<\/p>\n

However, unions have rejected the offer and insisted on pre-October 2018 salary of US$540.<\/p>\n
