After a month of negotiations and with a proposal from the Ministry to contribute 80 million euros for salary improvements for teachers, Comisiones Obreras assures that the Deputy Minister of Education has withdrawn said proposal without any explanation for the unions
Thus, the mobilizations led last year by non-university education teaching staff in the archipelago do not seem to be disappearing this year either. Non-university education teachers are asking for homologation in remuneration, although the latest negotiations with the Ministry stalled this Tuesday, October 16.
At the beginning of the course, Education made a proposal to the strike committee, in which "it put on the table the amount of 80 million euros to negotiate and discuss the salary improvements of non-university teachers", said Juan Manuel Rivero, who declared the surprise on the part of the strike committee when, at the meeting this Tuesday, the Deputy Minister communicated the Ministry's intention to withdraw the proposal.
Due to the fact that the teaching staff has not received any explanation from the Ministry about the reasons that have led them to take that "drastic" resolution, the unions have announced a concentration and strike for the day of October 19, inviting all teachers to massive participation in them.
In the last day of strike called by the teachers, the adhesion in Lanzarote reached 80 percent according to the unions, although the Ministry of Education put it at 48.28 percent.
