Salzburg teachers demonstrate for salary claims in Vienna

Salzburg teachers demonstrate for salary claims in Vienna

On Tuesday, the civil servants' unions call for a significant demonstration in Vienna, in which many teachers from Salzburg will also take part. This mobilization already has an impact on schools in the city of Salzburg, where there will be a limited operation. The teachers want to emphasize their salary claims with their participation in the major rally, in which around 30,000 people are expected in the afternoon.

It is the first salary protest of this kind for eleven years, and the unions see this as an important opportunity to draw attention to the needs and demands of employees in the public service. In Salzburg, around 240 teachers registered for participation in the demonstration in the educational directorate, which shows that the topic of salary is also very important here.

"Care in all schools"

Despite the restricted teaching offers, there will continue to be supervision and support in the schools concerned. Gertrud Salzmann, the chairwoman of the public service union in Salzburg, emphasized: "There is supervision and support in all schools. At best, lessons according to the timetable. However, care is certain." This ensures that the students are at least supervised, even if some teachers are not in class due to the demonstration.

The public service salary negotiations have already started last week, but there were no results in the first round of negotiations. The teachers hope to have a decisive influence on further negotiations with their commitment during the demonstration. The pressure that the demonstration exerts on those responsible could make a significant contribution to finally being made.
