Ahead of the May Day workers celebration, the National Association of Graduate Teachers (NAGRAT) has called for salary increments to alleviate the economic hardships affecting workers in the country, especially teachers.
The President of the association, Angel Carbonu, said the increased cost of living necessitated the call for salary increments.
“A 15 to 20 percent increment in income will not be bad looking at the situation that confronts us as workers,” Mr. Carbonu said as quoted by citinewsroom.
“When it comes to food items, our wives and our sisters and our mothers will tell you that prices of these commodities have all shot up in the market.”

He noted further that “the banks that we work with [have written] to us as an organisation amending the interest rates that we have agreed with them.”
Also, ahead of the May Day celebration, the Teachers and Educational Workers Union (TEWU) reiterated concerns with the conditions of service of its members.
It highlighted the non-conclusion of negotiation on the conditions of service for the public universities, the 2021 minimum wage, and the failure of some directors to implement the reviewed conditions for GES staff.
