The union leader mentioned that teachers did not receive any support to continue teaching online.
“All of this is happening under conditions in which, since the start of this pandemic, employees of the system have been thrown into the unknown, without training and without what is necessary to continue their activity online. We are presented with success stories of multinational companies, where the employees went to work, but no one shows that those employees received laptops to work from home, they were trained in an emergency, in fact, they received all the support What did the employees of the system receive? educational? Nothing! in contact with students, whenever possible, because even now many children are deprived of the right to education because they do not have the necessary means to participate in these activities “, concluded the president of the ESF” SPIRU HARET “.
The union organization states that as of September 1, 2020, according to GEO 114/2018, teachers should have received a salary increase to reach the level established by the Salary Law n. 153/2017, an increase that was postponed by the Orban Government to September 1, 2021.
Likewise, by the State Budget Law, in 2021, all employees in the budget sector should have benefited from a salary increase of 25% of the difference between the base salary provided for by Law No. 153/2017 for the year 2022 and December 2018, it is specified in the ESF statement “SPIRU HARET”.
The Education Union Federation “SPIRU HARET” considers that these increases are mandatory, since in education other bonuses are not granted for dangerous working conditions as in other areas, and those granted are blocked in 2016, although the law stipulates that they must be calculated on wages paid, according to the union statement.
