The Basic Education Teachers Union of Zambia has clarified that it has not yet concluded negotiations for the 2016 conditions of service and salaries for its members.
BETUZ Spokesman Kabika Kakunta said no teacher union has signed a new collective agreement with Government yet.
Mr. Kakunta said negotiations are still ongoing and is hopeful that they might be concluded by October 27th 2015.
He has since called for calm among teachers as the process progresses.
‘We have received a lot of inquiries from your members regarding the news that civil servants have been awarded new salaries. The position is that the development does not apply to teachers as we are still negotiating,’ Mr. Kakunta said.
Government yesterday awarded two civil service unions and three health sector unions 9 to 29 percent and 9 to 28 percent salary increments respectively for 2016.
Where’s the csawuz update on new salary increment,notches and grade system which zuno has approved,can someone elaborate more on these two?
yes we want to know how much nurses have been given.
last time they were fired for demanding good salaries
I hope it can be at least $1550 net pay. Otherwise, it may be useless again.
