WESTERN BUREAU: With the new academic year just a few weeks away, the Jamaica Teachers’ Association (JTA) and the Government have yet to settle on a wage agreement.
The association is urging the Government to understand that "there are some matters that are quite important to the teachers".
On Tuesday, the JTA rejected the Government’s recently-adjusted wage offer, following deliberations during the second day of the association’s 62nd annual conference at the Ocean Coral Spring Resort in Trelawny, with 155 out of 213 teacher-delegates voting to turn down the offer.
