The general secretary of the National Federation of Secondary Education Teachers (FENAPES), José Olivera, met with Frente Amplio legislators and after the meeting told the press that the union is calling for a national strike and march for June 15, on the basis that there will be a total strike in public education, both in what has to do with ANEP, UDELAR and UTEC, and that the participation of private education will be counted through the National Union of Private Education Workers (SINTEP) .
salary and charges
Olivera pointed out that in the current Rendering of Accounts, the government’s commitment that no one will lose salary in real terms must be fulfilled. “However, in 2021 there was a wage loss of 7.96% in the sector and no one has been able to answer how it will recover between 2023 and 2024.”
He said that the lack of charges is also included in the claim platform. “The situation that must be generated to create positions in the administrative and services area is dramatic, because there are new works that are carried over from the previous government, because in this period the works were frozen and there are no works planned with genuine resources, which They do not have officials so that they can attend to these institutions.”
Olivera also denounced wage inequities within ANEP.
