2Nd "Strike" Meeting
From Our Own Correspondent
Mangaia, Cl.
That little-known “trade union,” the Cl Teachers’ Guild, is beginning to make its “mana” felt in educational circles. Whether the CIPA is at the back of pedagogic discontent is anybody’s guess until battle is joined.
A month or two ago the local native teachers, alleging dissatisfaction with conditions of duty and discipline, held a “stop-short” meeting, at which all the staff but two declared for a strike.
The European headteacher managed to avert this disruption of the usually-calm schedule.
Now, an alleged reduction in senior teachers’ salaries has again aroused Guild wrath; and a problem for the Adminis tration seems about to develop at Mangaia.
