“No Money, No Work!” was one of the many chants from the teachers of Linden who took to the streets to protest and continue the ongoing strike on Friday last.
A live video stream posted on Shadow Minister of Culture Youth and Sport Jermaine Figuiera Facebook page showed the teachers of Linden, Region Ten protesting on the street. They gathered in front of the Shell Gas Station, where another chant was heard, “If Priya was a teacher she would have joined the strike!”
The scene was one of solidarity and defiance, as teachers from across Linden converged to amplify their demands for improved salaries. The throng swelled, a testament to the growing discontent among the teaching community. Other members of the opposition were also seen out, in support of the teachers. Students dressed in uniform were also seen standing with their teachers in show of support for the movement.
