ZIMTA has urged its members to report any victimization to ZIMTA officials if there are victimized by the police, headmasters or anyone.
"The forms of victimization include being called by the headmaster to attend duty while you are on strike, asked to sign letters that one is on strike, being asked to account for all whereabouts when all authorities have been informed of the strikes."ZIMTA said.
Meanwhile ZBC reported that the Minister of Primary and Secondary Education, Dr Paul Mavima assured the nation that the proposed strike has been shelved as government continues to put in place measures critical in the enhancement of teachers livelihoods.
