In the meantime, WITU has taken issue with some of Duncan’s statements. In a press release issued over the weekend, the WITU board said it was surprised by his comments. The union said that in light of the alarming number of teachers needed in St. Maarten’s schools, it would be best if the FAVE board acknowledge its hardworking teachers and do what is necessary to keep them functioning under the best circumstances.\n\n
WITU said in its statement that it is “not happy” with the complaints from its members, will “certainly continue to investigate the allegations, and will take action to inform our members of their rights and responsibilities. WITU has always advocated for better working conditions for our members and a better working relationship with all stakeholders, including school boards.”
