The comment made by the Government Medical Officers Association (GMOA) alleging that the reason behind the health professionals’ strike action was due to the teacher-principal salary issue being resolved and their salaries being increased is completely denied, said the Ceylon Teachers’ Union.
Union Chief Secretary Joseph Stalin emphasised that there were no salary increments made for teacher-principal grades, revealing that only the salary anomalies were resolved. Accordingly, the Union Secretary debunked the claim made by the GMOA.
Pointing out that the GMOA had issued various statements from the outset regarding the elimination of teacher-principal salary anomalies, Stalin noted that it was their responsibility to resolve their own salary issues. Accusing teachers will not bring them any benefit, he added.
