AS ORGANISED TEACHERS

Are no longer powerless

Can meet the employers as equals

Can recover their dignity in exchange of their lives for a honest living

No longer feeling very weak, utterly dependent on their employer’s good will

.

AN UNORGANISED TEACHER

Acting alone you cannot achieve anything

In terms of protecting yourself from the harmful acts of the employer

In securing better working conditions

In seeking the passage of laws protecting teachers and as an individual

You will find yourself utterly powerless an at the employers’ mercy

DO TEACHERS NEED NANTU?

Yes they do because… the forming of a trade union is inevitable wherever there are two groups with different interests.

Two Groups
These two groups are: the EMPLOYER (MoE) and the TEACHERS (NANTU)

TEACHERS CAN

oppose management

propose ideas

demand decent terms of work

negotiate with the employers
