Скачать или смотреть Teachers demand equal pay

The South African Democratic Teachers Union is considering a strike in the coming weeks. The union said on Tuesday that it has run out of patience over a five-year-old dispute with government. The dispute relates to teachers pay progress which they allege is slower than that of other public servants. Sadtu also accused the department of using numerous "delaying tactics" in a move to avoid closing the gap.The union has put in a strike notice and will ballot its members soon. The union also wants to see the back of the Basic Education's director-general Bobby Soobryan. Last year Sadtu embarked on "work to rule" and threatened a full-blown strike, unless the department agreed to reopen probes into Soobrayan over his role he played if any, in the Limpopo textbook crisis. To discuss this we are now joined by Sadtu Deputy Secretary General Nkosana Doloti.
