Euskaraz irakurri: Hezkuntzako grebak % 60ko jarraipena izan du sindikatuen hitzetan, eta % 32.7koa, Jaurlaritzaren arabera

Unions ALS, LAB and Steilas have called to second today the second day of strike in Basque public education summoned to express their rejection of the eraser of the draft of Law of education. The centers have ensured that it has had a wide follow-up, 60%, a figure that the Basque Government has lowered to 32.7% with the information collected in 90% of the centers.

The person in charge of Education THE AMiren Zubizarreta, has described as “positive” the two days of strike called, the one of last November 30 and the one of this Wednesday, because in addition to the “extensive follow-up”, the demands of the workers “in favor of a public education, own and Euskaldun have taken to the streets”.

Zubizarreta has asked the Basque Government and the parties that the text includes “the demands of the workers to achieve a public, own and Basque-speaking educational system” because the Executive is turning a “deaf ear”. In this sense, he has stressed that it is not a “preventive” strike, but a strike that wants to demand a different Education Law, “he added.

The representative of LABIrati Tobar, has remarked that they are once again taking to the streets to tell the Basque Government that they do not agree with the draft law that they have presented and that they want it to be different and take a path towards a “single, public, Basque-speaking” network and own”.

And “this path has to be taken with the workers and negotiated with their representatives”, added Tobar.

Since SteilasNagore Iturrioz has appealed to the Basque Government and the parties to “listen” to their demands and change the “direction” of what they have put on the table because the draft “comes to perpetuate the dual public-private system” that is ” source of segregation and most of the problems” that the Basque educational system has.

He has criticized the fact that the Basque Government “does not dare to put in concrete measures to help strengthen the Basque public schools” but has said that they will not stop until they can achieve this strong public network.

This strike, which is not supported by other unions such as UGT and CC. oo.despite being also critical of the Basque Government’s text, comes after the one they carried out, for the same reason, on November 30.

Within the framework of this strike, to which 30,000 Basque public education workers are called, the unions ELA, LAB and Steilas have carried out a demonstration in the morning in Vitoria-Gasteiz.

Already in the afternoon (6:00 p.m.), there are mobilizations called in the three capitals. In front of the Basque Government headquarters (Gran Vía 85) in Bilbao; in Alderdi Eder, in San Sebastián and in front of the Basque Parliament, in Vitoria-Gasteiz.

Basque Government accuses the unions of trying to “pressure” EH Bildu and E-Podemos

The Basque Government spokesman, Bingen Zupiria, yesterday expressed his “concern” about the strike and has reproached the organizers —ELA, LAB and Steilas— for trying to “pressure” EH Bildu and Elkarrekin Podemos-IU to “change” the commitments that they adopted together with the PNV and the PSE-EE in the educational pact reached last April.

The Executive established the following minimum services: a member of the management team, and a staff from the subordinate body for access control; a coordinator and a teacher for each stage, to which another will be added for every 100 students in each stage in the 1st and 2nd cycle of Early Childhood Education (including Haurreskolak) and Primary Education.
