TEACHERS ARE TAKING to the streets tomorrow, accusing the Ministry of Education of ignoring violence in schools and disrespecting teachers to the point of dismissing them without a hearing.
In the latest clash with the ministry, the Barbados Secondary Teachers’ Union (BSTU) is encouraging other unions, including the Barbados Union of Teachers, National Union of Public Workers, Barbados Workers’ Union and the Coalition of Trade Unions and Staff Associations of Barbados, to join the action.

It was still waiting a year later for mandatory quarterly meetings and teachers had to put up with bashings from their own employer. (AC)
