The Tunisian Ministry of Education and Training has taken repressive measures against several indentured secondary teachers who went along with their colleagues on a strike organised during the previous school year 2006- 2007 to defend their legitimate rights. And that was by unfairly relocating many of them and fired three of them in spite of their excellent pedagogical reports.In spite of all the efforts led by the unions, The Ministry of Education and Training is still declining all suggestions and demands to reconsider these repressive measures which intend to terrify teachers in order to refrain syndicalism within the sector. Within this framework, three of our colleagues who were subjected to unfair sacking, start a hunger strike defending their right to work and dignity. They are Moez Zoghlami (English language teacher) Ali Jalouli and Mohammed Moumni( philosophy teachers)The General Union of Secondary Education sustains this militant action and considers it as a step in he flow of actions which the sector has been leading in order to end all forms of repressive measuresAlso, The General Union OF Secondary Education appeals all teachers and the union representatives to support this action and defend the sector’s demands with all legal forms of militancy. It holds the ministry responsible for all the outcomes of rejecting the legitimate claims of our colleagues on hunger strike.Long live the militancy of teachersLong live the ugtt democratic independent and militantThe purposely dismissed teachers address this communiqué to the public opinion:We were hired to work as indentured teachers (MACA) during the previous school year thanks to a long militancy after our intended exclusion from the oral exam of the CAPES certificate Certificate of Pedagogical Aptitude for Secondary Education) because our former activism within the General Union of the Students of Tunisia.
