On Monday and Tuesday, Buenos Aires teachers will hold a 48-hour strike to demand better wages. Roberto Baradel, Suteba holder said “governments need to wake up.”

Last week, teachers had also conducted an strike of 48 hours, after the provincial government’s proposals were rejected.

For now, the provincial government offered an increase of 17.8%, which was not welcomed by teachers, since their claim was 22%. For this reason, Suteba announced its second strike for tomorrow and Tuesday.

“We regret this situation. We were not looking for it, we’re trying to do everything to not reach this situation, but unfortunately there will be a 48-hour strike on Monday and Tuesday, and Wednesday there will be a demonstration in front of the Ministry of Education the Nation. We are convinced that the struggle is needed to get out of the crisis in public education” said Baradel in statements to Radio Mitre.
