They made a petition to me as the Minister in September or October last year. I looked at it. That time, their membership was 11,000 teachers. I called the TSC because they made an allegation that there were 20,000 applications in the TSC which had not been processed. When I looked at the whole process and since it involved the Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) with the employer, I determined that they need to go to the Ministry of Labour and harmonise."}
