TT Unified Teachers Association (TTUTA) president Crystal Ashe said a mass rally is being planned as the union has received no update from the Chief Personnel Officer or anyone from the Finance Ministry about the status of revised salaries for teachers.

On January 8, Ashe claimed no instructions have been given to the Education Ministry's Finance Department to calculate and implement these new salaries, and the Cabinet Note that would ultimately approve the payment was not accepted.

TTUTA, under former president Martin Lum Kin, accepted a five per cent salary increase for 2020-2023, ten days before the April 28 general election.
