State teachers will go on strike.
The strike will be indefinite next Monday (26); the category's main demands are a review of the minimum wage, maternity leave for contracted employees and maintenance of career plans.
RS247 – Teachers affiliated with Cpers/Sindicato will go on strike indefinitely next Monday (26). The decision comes after an assembly. Around 2,5 education workers participated in the meeting, in which the strike was unanimously declared. The category's main demands are a review of the minimum wage, maternity leave for contracted employees and the maintenance of career plans.
Before the assembly took place, the State Government published a statement intending to show itself open to dialogue. However, according to the state executive, the group did not respond in kind.
Check the note:
"CPERS's statements that the State Government did not respond to the agenda presented by the union are not true. The document delivered to the CPERS leadership on August 15, 2013, responded in detail to each of the 27 items presented.
At the meeting held on August 19th, with the request for more objective answers, the Secretary of State for Education, Jose Clovis de Azevedo, proposed another negotiation hearing with the presence of secretaries from other departments, since the agenda goes beyond education issues.
Given the union leadership's silence regarding the continuation of negotiations, all proposed advancements remain suspended, such as promotions from 2003-2012, leave of absence for union activities between 2008-2010, and the exclusion of employees working in schools from the career plan.
The Government calls on education workers to maintain dialogue, an instrument capable of guaranteeing progress for the profession.".
