Schoolteachers On Strike Again Radiodabanga: Sudan
STC spokesperson Sami El Bager told Radio Dabanga that the teachers now strike to protest the delay in the payment of their salaries of January and February.
"A number of teachers received these dues only by mid-March. Others didn't, and this is unacceptable," he said."It causes teachers and their families a lot of problems, in particular as the wages are far from enough to cover the daily needs of an average family. Therefore, we decided on Sunday to call on all the state teachers to down tools until the delayed salaries are paid.
El Bager added that the Finance Ministry ignored what was agreed upon with the special committee formed by the Sovereign Council regarding the rights of teachers."The ministry did not abide by its pledges to start paying delayed dues and a bonus to the teachers from Sunday onward." He called on the Ministry of Finance to adhere to what was agreed upon,"so that we, as teachers, do not have to enter into another confrontation".
