On Friday the B.N.T.U. fired off a heavily worded statement to the Ministry of Education saying that the ‘continued and blatant disrespect’ against teachers will not be tolerated. The latest disagreement between the powerful union and the Ministry is as a result of the ministry’s move to re-categorize hardship allowances for teachers and time-off to collect salary. The re-categorization is expected to take effect at the end of October but the union says that consultations have not been held on the matter. The B.N.T.U. says the ministry has not showed up at scheduled meetings. The union has not disclosed its next step but whatever happens, the teachers can count on the support of the P.U.P. according to leader John Briceño.
