- Description
- Teachers in the Western Cape joined the SADTU strike in 1993 to fight the retrenchment of teachers. This was the De Klerk government’s interpretation of rationalisation. The National Party’s approach was as follows : It was UNILATERAL. Teachers were not consulted. It was UNIMAGINATIVE. Retrenching teachers was seen as the only option. It BRANDED our labour action as immoral and unlawful whilst refusing to extend the LRA3 to teachers. It was RACIST. Only ex-HoR teachers were to be retrenched. It was a consequence of the Education Renewal Strategy and designed to anticipate an ANC take over and it was seen a last ditched attempt to maintain and protect the privileges of the white ruling class. It was an ATTACK on SADTU. Retrenchment affected mostly temporary, and in some cases, permanent post-level 1 teachers. The bulk of SADTU’s membership falls into these categories. What added insult to injury, was that more promotion posts were created. Senior heads of departments became deputy principals, and more Heads of Department posts were created. Consequently, millions of rands were wasted.
