Pissed!!!
I am pissed -to say the least! (And pardon my French).
We are being forced back into the schools by the government. They are establishing a law that puts a bann to our strike... It is something that they can do but really shouldn't. (And actually have gotten a slap on the wrist for doing so from some international ....blahblah...institution.)
But, they did it anyway so now we just have to go back to work without having accomplished ANYTHING... -Speaking of being made to swallow your pride!!
I'll keep you posted....
Second half....
..of the strike will start on Tuesday!
We all got to vote about the "compromise contract" and so far I know of ONE teacher who is going to vote YES to it!! That is pretty much a give away about how this will all go... or so I'd say!! Yes, I do know about the infamous "silent majority" but this time I don't think that will be an issue here.... We only need 25% of the voters to vote 'NO' for it to be off the table. And belive me... there will be a much higher percentage than 25% who will say no to this!
Anyways, I am going to go to bed... I'll keep you posted about how things go!
PS.
Btw. is there anyone reading this? I never get any response so I don't really know if I am just writing this for myself or ????
Wonderful!!
What do they take us for!! Idiots is to weak a word for it!! The "compromise-contract" is a bad joke... a VERY very veeeery bad joke!! It offers nothing... I will eat my 'bandena' (is that the correct way to write it?) that I wear juring the summer if this will be agreed on! It offers 16,5% raise during 4 years... Hmmm now inflation will be according to some finance-specialists approx 4% for the next few year... which means that we will have gained 0,5%!!! WOW.. now who could resist that? I bloody can... so I am woting NO next week!!
I will just have to do some sewing!!
