A protest march to the Cotroceni Palace ”the trade unionists announced in a statement quoted by Agerpres.

They argue that the actions of the three trade union federations seek to draw attention to the obligation to solve the problems that the staff in pre -university and higher education faces, as well as the fact that the education employees reject the political measures to reduce the budget deficit, adopted by the Government, with negative effects on the education system, but on the education system, but on the education system.

“On September 8, instead of being in the chair to celebrate the beginning of the school, we, the teachers, will go out for the future of education and for the future of Romania. We are not on the street for higher salaries, but for better conditions in carrying out the educational act, for justice.is shown in the statement.

“Our protest is a protest for stopping these abusive measures, by which we show that we do not agree that education and research in Romania will continue to be underfinite and disregarded. We must convince the governors that the expenses for education are an investment, not a cost. And they will be formed in the educational system.the trade unionists said.

The unions claim that “The new legislation, adopted without real consultation and without a serious impact study, has generated a number of problems.”

“Increasing the didactic norm, combining the educational units, increasing the number of students in the classroom and, last but not least, the increase of the chair for directors and inspectors – all these are burdens that we carry together, even if from different perspectives. (…) Our message is a clear one: the fight against the trade union is not a fight against the directors. Predictable and properly funded, a system in which each of us – teacher, director, inspector – can carry out their activity with professionalism and dignity.the trade union organizations have also transmitted.
