I am writing in response to one Raynav Chand of Nakasi (March 16, 2024).
From the contents of his statements, it is obvious he seemingly has missed the boat.
We respect the powers of the permanent secretary and all we are requesting is to up-hold the rule of law.
Firstly, let me address the assertion he copied from PS Education that the unions are somehow favouring “elite members” over others.
It is absurd on him to suggest that unions would prioritise the interests of a select few over the collective well-being of the entire membership.
It is the responsibility of the unions to hold the employer, in this case, the Ministry of Education, accountable for upholding the rights and entitlements of teachers as outlined in the constitution and relevant legislation.
Letters to the Editor
Instead of perpetuating false narratives and engaging in baseless accusations, I would encourage you to seek a better understanding of the issues at hand.
The unions are committed to advocating for the rights and interests of all teachers and are dedicated to upholding the principles of fairness, justice, and equality within the profession.
Before you persist with your conniving misinformation, I urge you to educate yourself on the facts.
In conclusion, Mr Chand, if you have nothing constructive to contribute to the conversation, I suggest you refrain from further commentary.
The unions will continue to fight for the rights of teachers, regardless of the misguided opinions of individuals like yourself.
