FWSC denies reports of salary deductions for striking teachers

In a statement signed by the Head of Public Affairs of the FWSC, Emelia Ennin, the Commission said the purported comments do not represent the position of either the Chief Executive or the Commission on the ongoing industrial action by the three pre-tertiary teacher unions.“The FWSC therefore respectfully appeals to the public and the media to disregard the purported comments and any conclusions drawn from them, as they do not represent a statement made by the Chief Executive or a position taken by the Commission in relation to the ongoing teachers’ strike.”The Fair Wages and Salaries Commission (FWSC) has denied media reports suggesting that its Chief Executive, Dr George Smith-Graham, said teachers participating in the ongoing strike would have their salaries deducted for every day they remain away from work.
