National Education union organizations call on staff to “a massive mobilization“December 5 to denounce”contempt” from the government, in a press release published Monday, November 18.
“The increase from 1 to 3 days of waiting time and the reduction in compensation for sick leave are punitive measures as if civil servants were guilty of being ill even though successive governments bear heavy responsibility for the deterioration of their working conditions“, denounces the inter-union.
The civil service union confederations launched a strike call for December 5 throughout the country in mid-November. The teachers' unions and national education staff (FSU, UNSA Éducation, CFDT EFRP, CGT Educ'action, SNALC, SUD Éducation) are calling for “a massive mobilization“to denounce the “brutal politics“from the government”which undermines public services“.
The inter-union also points to the freezing of the value of the index point and the absence of a salary measure for staff in the 2025 budget.The government stigmatizes our colleagues, and at the same time organizes the degradation of our purchasing power“, she laments. “We also denounce the multiplication of contemptuous remarks against National Education personnel who have not engaged in these professions to be punching bags and fuel the political-media buzz“, it is written in the press release.
The statements of the former President of the Republic, Nicolas Sarkozy, during a conference on Friday in the Var, ironic about the pace of work of teachers, were very badly received by the teaching staff.
