Bmda: Teachers breaking l'école biche

Arbitration may be the next step Government takes as it attempts to resolve the two-week industrial action taken by teachers in the Island’s public school system.

But Bermuda Union of Teachers (BUT) general secretary Michael Charles last night said that arbitration in the past has been ineffective and that parents feel teachers are getting a “raw deal” from Government.

“The Minister does not seem to want to abide by previous rulings,” said Mr. Charles.
He said that if Government refused to meet the teachers’ demands, teachers would use their rights under international labour laws to “press home their case”.
