The All Kerala School Teachers’ Union has said that despite the High Court stay on the government order to cut salaries, its members will be ready to hand over voluntarily the salary to the Chief Minister’s Distress Relief Fund.

Union president N. Sreekumar and general secretary O.K. Jayakrishnan, in a statement here on Tuesday, said the stay was unfortunate, and all teachers should be ready to surmount it through their determination. They appealed for a considerate approach to the government decision to help the poor who had no jobs for the past one month.

Meanwhile, the Aided Higher Secondary Teachers’ Association has termed the stay a moral victory for teachers and other government employees.
