TEACHERS WALK OUT ALL teacher unions walked out of pay negotiations yesterday, the third such walkout this year, accusing the government of lack of transparency. And protests seem likely to come from nurses as well, offered increases of 7,04%, compared to some 22% offered to other low-paid civil servants.
