Teachers vow to fight on after High Court setback

TEACHERS will boycott the National Joint Negotiation Council (NJNC) as they “fight on” despite a High Court order dismissing their application for improved working conditions.

In the joint application, the Zimbabwe Teachers Association, Progressive Teachers Union of Zimbabwe, Amalgamated Rural Teachers Union of Zimbabwe and Educators Union of Zimbabwe had sued the government over poor salaries and working conditions.

The teachers cited the Public Service Commission, which established the NJNC through the Public Service Act charged with the responsibility of determining salaries and working conditions.
