The teachers union, having affiliated and with continued recruitment of more members, obviously the strength in our numbers comes as a threat. But, what is even more scary (I am deliberately saying this to employers and government) is the fact that the BFTU has in its midst young, not only educated but knowledgeable, dynamic and visionary leaders. It is particularly true that union members recognise the importance of these young leaders if the BFTU is to grow and remain strong in the future.
