The government team refused the union’s request for a 40% increase on 2015 salaries and proposed instead to offer a ballpark figure of $700 million to facilitate an increase in salaries for all teachers based on the current salary scale. That 40% increase on 2015 salaries had been hammered out last year by a taskforce involving the government, the union and other stakeholders following an earlier impasse. It was widely believed that that package should have been automatically implemented by the government.Government has further offered to employ a specialist to work with the union to decide on salary increases for teachers.
