WHY DON'T GABA TEACHERS RECEIVE PAID LEAVE?


GABA's sub-contractor (itaku) system denies you paid annual leave and all the other benefits that regular employees expect.

- Unemployment insurance
- Health and pension insurance
- Set salary
- Job security
- Right to challenge unfair dismissals.
- Right to negotiate with your employer as an equal.
