Op the website from Radio 1 on the Stand.nl program, people can give their opinion on the statement: 'It is right that teachers are going on strike again, despite the new collective labor agreement'. By 15.15:1603 pm, 77 people had responded to the statement: 23 percent agreed, XNUMX percent disagreed.
During the broadcast, people gave their opinion in response to the statement. A representative of Parents in Action did not think a new strike on September 12 was a good idea. It does not affect the right parties, was his opinion. The children are the victims because they miss a day of education and, moreover, an agreement has now been reached.
To hold
AObdirector of primary education Eugenie Stolk responded at Stand.nl. She repeated that action is needed, because the gap with secondary education is still large. 'Ultimately, this is about good education. You want to retain people for the longer term by paying a fair salary', says Stolk. 'Many people are now leaving primary education because they can earn more in secondary education.' The unions are dependent on government financing during collective bargaining. 'We are happy with the extra salary increase from this agreement, but the resources were limited.'
Discount
The cabinet does opt for a dividend cut of 1,4 billion euros, but not for education, was Stolk's opinion. 'They are not opting for investments in education. Our only remedy is to strike if talking doesn't help.'
Minister of Education Arie Slob for Primary Education left via a press release know that he is happy that there is a collective labor agreement. Well he said News hour that no more money is added.
