- Description
- During the past few months, we experienced the mass mobilisation of 70 000 teachers, nationally. This collective showing of unity and strength forced the State to listen to the grievances of teachers. In the Western Cape, militant teachers took to the streets to picket, held successful sit-ins at Regional Offices, participated in mass marches and rallies. We saw unprecedented mass mobilisation of teachers on three occasions. Firstly, a SADTU meeting at the Athlone Civic Centre where a resolution was adopted to intensify the campaign against unilateral restructuring and retrenchment. Secondly after consultations with other teacher organisations in the Western Cape, we embarked on an 'ambitious' plan of uniting all organisations against rationalisation, merit awards and our fight for a Living Wage, This culminated in the historic meeting at the Good Hope Centre which drew approx. 10 000 teachers together to demonstrate the anger of teachers* at the racist education departments and the intransigent State.
