Teachers' wages not delayed, local govt says

The city government of Lu'an, Anhui province, said on Tuesday that there have been no delays in wages for the city's public school teachers.

The statement came after more than 40 teachers in Lu'an gathered at the city government offices on Sunday morning in protest of alleged wage delays. They also asked for annual performance bonuses.

There is no regulation promising annual performance bonuses to teachers in the city's Jin'an and Yu'an districts, the local government said in a statement.
