Nagaland RMSA Teachers Association (NRMSATA) 2016 batch has threatened to stop going to work over the non-release of four months’ salary. In a press release, NRMSATA-2016 president, Sao Venuh, and general secretary, Haisoliabe, said it was unbecoming of the government to not pay the salary of teachers until they resort to agitation. With prices of commodities soaring, they said it has become very difficult to survive with meagre fixed salary that too without being credited for several months. Asserting that it has become impossible to carry out our duties on an empty stomach, NRMSATA-2016 appealed to the government to pay salaries at least for the sake of the students if not for teachers’ sake. The aggrieved teachers expressed dismay that in spite of the famous catch phrase “change is coming”, nothing has changed for them. “Our salary has not increased a single paisa since our appointment in 2016 and even worse, we are not paid for 4 months straight,” they said.NRMSATA-2016 has, therefore, cautioned that the teachers would have to stop going to work if their salary was not paid at the earliest.
