Teachers to continue with strike, no matter what - Stalin

COLOMBO (News 1st); The Secretary-General of the Ceylon Teacher's Union, Joseph Starlin alleges that the Government has commenced using parents as means to curb the teacher and principal union's strike. Pointing out that some teachers and principals in the country are being summoned to District Secretaries and Provincial authorities and then being threatened, Starlin said that the principals and teachers unions have collectively decided that they will not be participating in such meetings. Meanwhile, the Ceylon Teachers Services Union General Secretary Mahinda Jayasinghe speaking to the media said that some Ministers and certain parties have complained about the ongoing strike, and challenged them to file a Police complaint instead of simply issuing threats to the union members.
