Loud tassa sounds complemented by African drumming were heard yesterday coming from teachers on the top of the Anna Regina Habour bridge as they joined the Guyana Teachers Union (GTU) for the 10th day of strike action to bolster their demand for collective bargaining.
The teachers are hoping that this matter could be resolved sooner than later as they are anxious to return to their respective classrooms
Hundreds of teachers gathered at the Anna Regina high bridge as the strike intensified in Region Two. More teachers joined in the strike action which was observed by members of the Guyana Police Force. The day began with prayers after which several gospel songs were sung and the teachers then proceeded to the Anna Regina high bridge. On the bridge they hoisted placards, most of which called for higher salaries that matched the high cost of living.
