Teachers threaten to go on strike again
Teachers are threatening to go on strike again if the Government fails to give them raises on February 8 as promised.
Teachers from 87 secondary schools and 61 kindergartens went on strike last December demanding raises. To end the strike, the Government agreed to increase teachers’ salaries in two phases.
The first raise is scheduled to take effect on February 8, but a Finance Ministry working group has not yet submitted the required paperwork to Parliament. Ministry officials said the paperwork will be submitted “soon.”
Teachers’ Trade Union President J.Batzorig said teachers hope their salaries will be increased on time, but if the Government fails to give them the promised raises on February, the teachers may strike again.
