Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>The Minister of Public Service and Social Welfare, Paul Mavima, has warned teachers against holding the nation at ransom by threatening to go on strike each time schools open.<\/p>\n

Speaking to NewsDay on Friday, 29 April, Mavima said that the Government will not hesitate to invoke the \u201cno-work, no-pay\u201d policy for teachers who are planning to absent themselves when schools open next week. Mavima said:<\/p>\n

That\u2019s not acceptable, we can\u2019t have a situation whereby each time we are about to open schools, teachers say they want to go on strike. It doesn\u2019t work like that.<\/p>\n

There is a whole architecture of negotiations with the Public Service Commission and their federation, which meets Government to discuss conditions of service for civil servants.<\/p>\n

So it\u2019s not acceptable for teachers to hold the nation at ransom each time we open schools.<\/p>\n

However, teachers\u2019 representatives insist that teachers are financially incapacitated and cannot report for work.<\/p>\n

Amalgamated Rural Teachers Union of Zimbabwe (ARTUZ) president Obert Masaraure said:<\/p>\n

The Constitution provides for the right to strike. Mavima cannot criminalise the right to strike, and by the way, teachers never said they wanted to strike.<\/p>\n

They are on collective job action because they are incapacitated. The cost of living is high and has made it impossible for teachers and other workers to commit themselves to their duties.<\/p>\n

Progressive Teachers Union of Zimbabwe (PTUZ) secretary-general Raymond Majongwe asked the Government to urgently honour its $20 000 fees promise.<\/p>\n

Last term, the Government pledged $20 000 in school fees for teachers\u2019 biological children and housing loans.<\/p>\n
