Honduras Teachers Conflict Solved
Tegucigalpa - The Honduran government
reached preliminary agreements with
teachers, who had suspended classes for more
than 50,000 students, demanding long overdue
work benefits.
The teachers ended a two-day strike
yesterday, with the primary, secondary and
high schools involved expected to return to
normalcy.
At the end of a meeting with President of
the Republic, Manuel Zelaya, the country's
Federation of Teachers said "talks are
evolving positively."
According to union leader Milton Bardales,
the Executive expressed its commitment to
solve the strikers' main demand, which is to
eliminate arrears in payments to the
Teaching Forecast Institute, amounting to
2.40 billion lempiras ($127 million.)
