Retenues sur les salaires des enseignants : l’O.I.S annonce une action en justice
Tensions are rising between authorities and teachers. The Senegalese Teachers' Organization (OIS) has announced its intention to take legal action to contest the deductions made from its members' salaries, which its leaders consider "abusive".
According to its secretary general, Babacar Mbaye Ngaraf, the situation goes beyond simple administrative deductions. "What is happening is more like extortion," he declared, denouncing amounts ranging from 100,000 to 200,000 CFA francs, presented as deductions for strike-related activities.
The union representative clarified, however, that the OIS does not oppose the principle of salary deductions when they are legally regulated. "The deductions themselves are not a problem for us. They have always boosted enthusiasm, motivation, and determination," he maintained. But, he insisted, a clear distinction must be made between measures provided for by law and what he considers excessive practices.
The union also condemns what it calls the government's "manipulation and demonization" of teachers, arguing that instead of open and honest dialogue, the authorities have chosen escalation. The union is not convinced by the argument of a legacy economic deficit used to justify the refusal to correct certain "injustices" perpetrated against teachers. "This reason hasn't stopped our leaders from reveling," denounces Babacar Mbaye Ngaraf.
Faced with what it describes as a "belligerent attitude" of the authorities, the OIS calls for unity of action among the various trade union frameworks, including the G7 and the G20, in order to present a united front.
"The situation is serious: unite or suffer," insists the secretary general, determined to take the fight to the legal arena.
