Were teachers justified to go on strike?
Background: Strike action by teachers in public schools expanded significantly across the country on the second and final day yesterday as Parliament received a petition about the action.
Reports from across the country indicated that more schools had joined in the strike after reports came in that participating teachers would not face any penalties from the Ministry of Education as had earlier been threatened.
Instread of meeting the demands of the teachers on a 100% pay raise, government agreed on a 15% increase of their salary (and a 50% increase over the next 3 years).
Question: Were teachers justified to go on strike?
A: Yes - and they should continue striking
B: Yes - But they should stop striking now that government partly met their demands
C: No - They earn enough and should not strike
D: No - The system of UPE and USE is too expensive, higher wages for all teachers would mean an increase in taxes for everyone.
