The Professional Teachers Union of Zambia (PROTUZ) has accused some senior officials at the Ministry of Finance of conniving with some of its members to change their union membership on the salaries register.
PROTUZ Director for Mobilization and Recruitment Misween Phiri has told QFM News that the register obtained from the Ministry of Finance for October salaries has shown that the union has lost about 430 members who have been reverted to their previous unions, describing the move as illegal.
Mr. Phiri states that it is a criminal offence for officials from the Ministry of Finance to revert the teachers who joined the PROTUZ willingly to their old unions.
He says the union will ensure that it gets to the bottom of the matter.
