Monday (26th September) has another strike carded:

The Trinidad and Tobago Unified Teachers Association (TTUTA) is once again urging employees to stay away from work over the Chief Personnel Officer's proposed salary increase of four per cent which stands for offers of 0-0-2 and 0-0-2 from 2014 to 2019.

TTUTA advised its members to rest and reflect on Monday, the same day that Finance Minister Colm Imbert is expected to present the 2023 budget in Parliament.

Its advisory said: "Comrades, we once again ask you to take time to reflect. On Monday, 26th September 2022 (Budget Day) reflect on what a 2022 Budget could mean on your 2014 Salary."

Moreover, TTUTA thanked members for the "overwhelming support" it received when it asked people to reflect on how the CPO is conducting the current negotiations by taking a half-day on Thursday, September 22.

Why not just pay the ppl what they asking for so things could move smoothly, we going to find 100 million for carnival but can't find money to pay teachers who haven't received a raise since 2014...

the govt position is that subsidies and transfers already unsustainable. if they give more than 4% to teachers, then nurses, police, and everybody else want more than 4% too. that amount of money added to recurrent expenditure simply not there unless some miracle happen

Let me guess, you are a government worker, but you do not understand or care to understand how government manages money,

Jason,

Paying them for what they are asking for isn’t going to change anything.

And it’s not like they don’t have the money, they don’t want to and see NO need to raise their salary.

I do understand I just don't care , because you saying this yet the government going to find 100 million to spend on carnival . So the government spends on what they want to spend on. Now let me ask you something ,show me the return on investment from carnival vs the return on investment in teachers I'll wait ... ppl must remain on the same salary from 2014 with inflation eating away at their disposable income, when last have you taken a trip to the grocery or put gas in your vehicle?

[hover11]

208 million gone down the drain but ppl saying we don't have the money to pay teachers. Where was the return on investment here because we still have to find the money to actually do the work just we 208M short now. Keep drinking that kool-aid that funds aren't there, how do you know that, do you know what is actually in the treasury at this point in time no you don't. So you can't say beyond a reasonable doubt what the country can or can't spend

well I guess we could give teachers 8% but still offer nurses, police, other public servants 4%

but that would cause a different series of (potentially more damaging) strikes

Then don't give anybody anything , take the PNM Approach do nothing and wait until all components in the public sector start striking.

Like someone told me yesterday nothing is done unless a certain sector is aggrieved in this country. You know where I coming from, bet your bottom dollar if customs start striking and down tools watch how fast everybody getting paid an increase.

The same customs that hold legitimate importers to ransom? Or the same customs that allow AR 15s to pass through?

Extra lessons are arguably more lucrative. It has reached the point where extra lessons are absolutely required for success since the normal teaching hours are taken up with other things. Anyone with kids will know...

[Mmoney607]

Tell them, how the Chinese children don't have to pay for lessons but they have to for their children, they not in the same class with the same teacher, going to the same school..... the maths not mathsing, like I said before is the discipline you indoctrinate your child with. If your child accustom to being on a tab or phone with tiktok instead of picking up a book in their free time then don't blame the teachers

It's absolutely hilarious to hear the incels of tuner talking about discipline and China and all sorts of things, when they don't have any Idea of the reality of the present system.

Ttuta actually working for its members. If only the other unions follow suite.

Plenty ppl who cry about civil servant work ethic doh talk how they have a while year to pay business tax and wait til the day it due to rush. Or come up to apply for stuff and they don't have anything in order.

Most ppl business failing because of bad management and not civil servants

That's typical business community, they know they have their BIR and NIS to pay by the last working day of the month that is when it essentially due they rush to pay by the 15th of every month which is the day before it generates penalty but they call us lax lol. That's rich.

I have had ppl have major cuts to their taxes still complain that their taxes too high.


Unilever, is you I referring to

[paid_influencer]

plenty people trying ah thing with business because it have no jobs available elsewhere. they making their own job out of necessity, not choice. it have people working for negative money at the end of the month

The only thing sure in this life is death and taxes, have to pay taxes or else the country falls apart. Back to the thread, teachers deserve more as their study done by the union showed that they were severely underpaid by market research, forget holidays , forget pandemic....fact is these ppl are underpaid, let's make that clear. Pay the ppl what is due to them , fair day's pay for a fair day worked or pay for what you get every week there will be disruptions

[Dizzy28]

Yes they are. In some schools and with some teachers its compulsory. If you miss lessons you missing curriculum
