Unions call for action in secondary education
The trade unions in education – AOb, FNV, CNV and FvOv – jointly call for action in secondary education. Come to the protest meeting on Thursday, May 25, 17.00-17:30 PM!
De AOb, FNV, CNV and FvOv want the cabinet to provide sufficient funds to raise wages in secondary education. This is badly needed to make the profession of teacher and support staff attractive.
“The report showed yesterday The state of education that the intake of teacher training courses is declining, drop-out rates remain too high and that an alarming number of vacancies remain open," says AObdirector Jelmer Evers. "These are colleagues that we all miss. It is absolutely scandalous that the cabinet then offers wages that lag far behind inflation. That is simply not possible. The profession of teacher and support worker must be made more attractive."
I call on all our members - and their colleagues - to take action
Employers do not seem to be opposed to the actions either. “Employers get their money from The Hague,” says Evers. “And that is not enough to properly raise wages in these times of inflation. That is why the employers and the trade unions are now of the opinion that more money is needed from the cabinet.”
Examinations
The willingness to act in education is increasing rapidly, notes Evers. Many members also want to take action sooner than May 25th. “But actions are not an option during the final exams – they are too disruptive,” says Evers. “The first action that we can organize together with all unions is on May 25. That's towards the end of the exam period, and the action is at five o'clock in the afternoon. In this way we spare the exams as much as possible, and we still take action. Because that is badly needed.”
And it probably won't stop at this one action. Evers: “A very clear signal to politicians is needed. The next step is the first half of June - we are now looking at all options.”
