The union’s general secretary, Stella Maldonado, said at a news conference also asked the authorities to “rise to 8 percent of GDP on education budget, as well as modifying the income tax, the universalization of family allowances and that the Ministry of Labour is involved in joint negotiations.”

Maldonado said that “the decision to go to strike at the beginning of the school year was not imposed by the announcement made by other four national associations, but wait that each trade union closed it negotiation yesterday and today to debate in our congress”.

“For now all agreed on March 6 to demonstrate at Ministry of Education, but each primary union define their own measures of force that could include strikes in the provinces,” she added.

The announcement was made at the Ctera national headquarters after the end of the extraordinary congress of the union.

Maldonado was accompanied by Secretary General of SUTEBA, Ruberto Baradel and Secretary General of UTE, Eduardo Lopez, among other union leaders.
