Ceylon Teachers' Union (CTU), a leading independent teachers' union of the five trade union coalition that spearheaded the campaign against the salary anomalies, says that they do not agree with the three trade unions that consented to suspend the two-day strike that was scheduled for 29 and 30 October.
The Chairman of the CTU Joseph Stalin Fernando says that the government was saying that the salary anomalies will be removed by December 31 even before the teachers’ unions led the boycott of evaluation of G.C.E. (Advanced Level) examination. He asked from the trade unions that decided to suspend the trade union action, why they decided to strike for two days if they had a guarantee that the government would remove salary anomalies as they said.
Fernando further said that the CTU could not be cheated with false pledges and the union would continue the struggle to remove the salary anomalies until the mission is accomplished.
