Teacher’s union announced strike before the start of the academic year

Argentina, February 22, 2013

After the meeting, the Federation of Educators of Buenos Aires decided to do a strike of 96 hours just three days before the start of the academic year 2013. The claim involves the reopening of the joint and a 30% wage increase.

The strike will be held two days these week and the rest in the next week. This was announced by one of the unions that groups most of the teachers of the province of Buenos Aires.

The straw that broke the camel’s back was the disagreement between the provincial government and the union’s claim for wage increases and universal family allowances.

For now, other guilds as SUTEBA, UDA, AMET and private SADOP are analyzing whether to join the claim or not, after last night rejected the request of the Province of giving more time to the wage increase offer and avoid a strike at the beginning of classes.
