Public school teachers in the Family Islands were told over the weekend by the Bahamas Union of Teachers (BUT) to be on "alert".
The message was sent to teachers in an email by the BUT. However, the email did not say if teachers would take further action after weeks of industrial unrest at several New Providence schools.
BUT President Belinda Wilson did not respond to calls or emails yesterday.
"Belinda Wilson, president of the Bahamas Union of Teachers is placing all members from Grand Bahama to Inagua on alert," the email said.
"There are many issues that are negatively affecting our teachers and the schools that are not being addressed.
"Teachers are being threatened, class sizes are very large, teacher shortages, unhealthy and unsafe working environments, millions of dollars owed to teachers and much more.
"Teachers at Stephen Dillet, Uriah McPhee and Carlton E. Francis have taken a stand. They now need your support.
"Now is the time for us to stand."
Last week teachers staged protests at several public schools over various unresolved issues.
On Friday teachers at Carlton Francis Primary School staged a sit-in over issues that included a teacher shortage and a lack of adequate furniture for students.
The sit-in came after similar action at Stephen Dillet and Uriah McPhee primary schools last week over conditions at those institutions.
The union claimed the schools have mold, rodent and termite infestation, and their air-conditioning units have malfunctioned.
