A schoolteacher's woes

      I Would advise , based on the 'letter to the editor' published on October 12 in a local English daily, the teacher, who has been subjected to totally illegal and unethical salary deduction for the whole month just for one day's absence to the nearest labour court' against the school authorities for violation of the labour law and the standing orders act of Bangladesh.
      Even domestic helps cannot be treated in such a manner. Further, he will not need any lawyer to represent himself in the labour court . He can do it himself , and he will be given a due hearing.
      All said and done, it was an inhuman and cruel act on the part of the school management; and they should be ashamed of themselves. The matter needs to be investigated but the nearest upazila nirbahi officer should be duly informed by the complainant , to get fair play and justice.
      I hope and pray that the teacher concerned qualifies in the BCS examinations and then hopefully, in good time, he will be able to drive home the ideas of justice and fair-play, to the high handed members of the school committee.
