Croatian teachers go on strike over wages
They want a 6% wage hike, government offers 2+2%
10 October, 19:14
(ANSA-AP) - ZAGREB, OCTOBER 10 - Teachers and other employees
in Croatia's schools have launched a strike demanding higher
wages. Unions say the strike is planned Thursday in all
elementary and high schools in Croatia and will continue in
certain municipalities in the coming days in a "circular
manner."
Teachers want a 6% wage hike, saying they are underpaid
compared to other public sector employees. The government has
offered an immediate 2% hike, and additional 2% in June, but the
unions have rejected this. Organizers say they will maintain the
strike until their demands are met.
There are about 1,000 schools in Croatia with tens of
thousands of employees. (ANSA-AP).
