Teaching staff at Post Millennial Academy are set to begin industrial action on Wednesday, 17 September, after the Antigua and Barbuda Union of Teachers (A&BUT) said repeated calls for dialogue with the school\u2019s administration had gone unanswered.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

In a letter to parents dated 10 September, A&BUT President Casroy Charles said the move was necessary due to \u201cthe school\u2019s administrator\u2019s continued failure to engage in discussions that are geared towards resolving a dispute lodged, which claims that several of the school\u2019s most recently introduced operation procedures contravene our nation\u2019s labour laws, as well as the teachers\u2019 employment contract.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Charles confirmed that both the school\u2019s board chairman and the principal had been formally notified of the union\u2019s position and the measures required to avert the action. \u201cTo date, the administrators of Post Millennial Academy have not responded to our missive,\u201d he added.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Parents were urged to prepare for possible disruptions, with Charles emphasising that the union\u2019s decision was not taken lightly but reflected its commitment to protecting teachers\u2019 rights and ensuring adherence to established labour standards.<\/p>
