The BNTU strike notice has officially been delivered to the Ministry of Education. The union gave formal notice of its plan to take industrial action within 21 days. This decision comes after months of failed talks over salary adjustments.
Teachers across the country say they cannot keep up with the soaring cost of living. According to the BNTU, the government has refused to seriously consider the Joint Unions’ request for a raise. This refusal has pushed teachers closer to action. The BNTU strike notice aims to put pressure on officials to resume fair negotiations.
President Nadia Caliz sent the letter on behalf of the Council of Management. It outlines the union’s deep frustration with the ongoing economic crisis. Teachers feel ignored, even as prices rise and salaries remain the same.
The union argues that talks must continue. Moreover, they demand that the government explore fair, workable solutions that ease this financial burden. Without real change, they say, many educators will continue to suffer.
Importantly, the BNTU clarified that the strike is a last resort. They still hope for a resolution through peaceful dialogue. However, they remain firm in their demand for relief and respect.
BNTU leaders also stated they are ready to return to the table. They want to work with government counterparts to solve what is now a clear impasse.
In conclusion, the BNTU urges officials to act quickly. Teachers deserve fair wages, and they are prepared to stand up for that right.
