After Prime Minister Milojko Spajić announced yesterday that the salaries of education will not increase by ten percent and that there is no need for threats and blackmails, from the Education of Montenegro, they answer that the statement does not compromise and resolve the crisis.
Educators do not give up on the announced strike. The President of the Union Education Mr Radomir Božović said victory to be prepared for that type of radicalization. It will announce it officially by decision on the income on strike that will submit to the Government on Monday or Tuesday.
There is no compromise
If the government is changed and respected only what writes in a branch collective agreement, we will give up on the strike, "Bozovic said.
Spajic said that education should believe the government and to be patient until the realization of Europe USA programs 2. promises that this will happen this year.
The people from education really need to trust the government. I think we gave many results in two or three months. This year, the citizens of Montenegro expect many positive surprises. I think in all deadlines we said to carry out Europe US 2. Not only educators, but all the citizens of Montenegro can expect a very bright in 2024 - said the Prime Minister, adding that there was no need for rushes, threats and blackmail.
From the Ministry of Education, Science and Innovation, the past weeks on several occasions ordered that the expert team negotiates with the workers' organization and believe that an adequate solution will occur. The trade unions said in the start that he would not give up requests and seek the increased ten-central earnings since January this year, as agreed with the previous representatives of the Government. It was announced that the representatives of the executive will hold another meeting on Friday. The Government earlier gave a deadline by the end of January to agree or resort to radicalization.
Strikers don't hold classes
The trade unions are collected by the signatures of employees who support the strike, but the president of the union Božović says that they do not have other precise data as many as possible. He says that an increasing number of schools that have declared themselves as possible for suspension of teaching.
Dozens of schools are in question - he says.
Teachers who do not want to strike, as Božović explains, can hold classes, but only his own. Under the Law on Strike, they cannot keep the classes of those teachers who are on strike.
Recently, the Striking Board of the Education Union has made a decision to implement a strike on the Bosnian-Croatian model. It is in the plan that teachers come to school for four hours, but not keep classes. Kindergartens will work, due to the specifics of work, but it will not, as previously disclosed than six to five, from seven to three.
Earlier than the Government, he was notified that the education may not increase earnings because it is not provided for earlier guidelines of the Ministry of Finance, for which it was answered that they are, "tales for young children." They disregard what the budget was not prescribed to increase their salaries, pointing out that money was taken and given to increase minimum pensions. They also spoke that many other limits for budget units were pierced, that there are money for many state bodies, and that it is not only for educators.
The union and the Ministry of Education, Science and Innovation months are confronted that employees should work in the event that they start a strike in educational institutions. The Ministry is invoking the act on the minimum work process and communicates that in that case, teaching must be performed, ie the classes should last 45 minutes. The union, on the other hand, says the state of nine years is avoided by their insistence that a new act on the minimum work process, was obliged to do within 90 days after the strike law. Božović says that the Ministry is invited to the 2006 Regulation, which is "anti-Esticula and undemocratic". He reiterated that he would not work for 45 minutes.
The Education Union requires that they pay them full of earnings during the strike.
We will insist all together, but we cannot guarantee in advance, because the participants in the strike can remain without a share of salaries during the strike. However, at the possible compensation of classes, they would be compensated - was announced recently from the union in the employees of the education.
In the 1923, the educators increased by 20 percent, and was agreed with the then government then advocates that the salaries of education increased ten percent over the next two years. The first increase in ten percent was to be implemented this January and the second is planned for the beginning of 2023.
Teachers have not been satisfied at the time where negotiations with the then representatives took place Executive authorities, because their request is not respected to increase their earnings at once, not from three times. They disregarded that they are not a priority to the government and that there is never enough money for them, as for some other carcasses. They reminded that, for example, professors at the University of Montenegro increased salaries then by 60 percent. They also announced in that period of protests or strike, but they gave up and accepted the offer to gradually increase their earnings.
Vukovic: Patience, will increase earnings in the third-quarter quarter
Finance Minister Novica Vuković said that the increase in salaries in health, education and administration can be expected in the third or fourth quarter of this year through amendments to the Law on Sectional Sitters.
Vukovic, after the opening of the reconstructed road, Mateševo-Kolašin, said that the government did not engage in segregation and favoring individual areas from public administration, emphasizing that it is already working on the Law on Sectional Sitters.
Their request was to be a social dialogue, to make a round table, that all participants would be invited and had already started with the new Earning Law. We speak here about patience, we talk about the third, fourth quarter, and that was the request of the unions. On the other hand, they were left to accept such a fair approach, whether to challenge the institutions in which they are located and continue with their activities that they called on strike - said Vukovic.
According to him, the Ministry of the Interior is a different way the coefficient, ie the integration of its ten percent.
It was agreed to regulate that part of the earnings within their budget. We are talking about what the EU asks us, about one responsible behavior, in a way that we do not strengthen public debt, that the state deficit is not growing on an annual basis, and this requires absolute contrary behavior. That is why it is absolutely clear, transparent all negotiated, now it is in reason and will be allowed to be implemented all these policies - he said.
