Umoja wa Walimu wa Elimu ya Juu (COEASU) unaojumuisha vyuo 252 umetoa tamko kuwa Wanachama wake wanatarajia kuanza kufanya kazi kwa muda wa siku mbili kwa wiki kama Serikali haitapunguza gharama za maisha.
Walimu hao wanataka nyongeza ya mshahara kwa asilimia 200 ili waweze kuendana na gharama ya maisha ilivyo kwa sasa.
Hatua hiyo inakuja kutokana na kupanda kwa bei ya mafuta ya Petroli baada ya ruzuku ya mafuta ya Serikali kuondolewa..

Nigerian teachers threaten to slash work days over pay
A teachers' union in Nigeria has told the BBC that its members will only work two days a week, unless the government addresses the rising cost of living.
The Colleges of Education Academic Staff Union - the third largest in Nigeria - is demanding a 200% rise in salaries to meet the costs of transport and other expenses.
It follows a sharp increase in the price of petrol, after a government fuel subsidy was removed.

Fuel Price Hike: Union directs teachers to work twice weekly
Teachers in many of Nigeria’s 252 colleges of education may soon start attending classes only two days a week instead of five.
This follows a directive from the Colleges of Education Academic Staff Union (COEASU) asking members to go to work twice a week in view of the current hike in petrol prices occasioned by the removal of fuel subsidy.
Mr. Smart Olugbeko, president of COEASU, in a statement on Wednesday, said the union members could no longer survive on the current minimum wage.
Olugbeko said the directive followed the union’s extraordinary meeting held on Tuesday, July 18, 2023.
According to him, members of the union would not return to full work till the Federal Government agreed to COEASU’s demand of 200 percent increase in salary.
“The National leadership of our great Union in its extraordinary meeting held on Tuesday, 18th July 2023 had agreed to direct its members to go to work two days weekly until Federal Government yields to its demand of 200 percent increase in salary, amidst the difficulty of members to get to work as a result of hike in the price of petrol,” the statement read in part.
