POLAND - Teachers' strike

The teachers' strike is scheduled for April 8. Yesterday at 13 representatives of the teachers' and government's trade unions once again sat down to the joint table. It was up to these discussions whether the strike planned by the teachers would start on Monday. However, the talks will not return until Friday. If it is not possible to reach an agreement, the branches throughout Poland may be properly paralyzed. The parents in this case are entitled to a similar exemption, as in the case of a child's illness. However, there are certain conditions.

• On 8 April, a strike of teachers and other employees of educational institutions may start in Poland

• The final scale of the teachers' strike is difficult to determine before it begins

• A strike means a problem with looking after children. What can parents do in such a situation?

Despite three days of talks, there has been no agreement between the trade unions of teachers and the government. Although new proposals appeared on both sides, the agreements could not be signed. Teachers, instead of a thousand zloty raise, want 30 percent. wage increase. An analysis of mutual proposals has been under way since yesterday, and today another meeting was organized.
