The President of the Education Union, Radomir Božović, announced that a warning strike will be held tomorrow in almost all schools in Montenegro, because the centralized calculation of salaries has reduced teachers' salaries by up to 50 euros, and for some even more.
The warning strike, according to him, will be organized in a way that will not disrupt classes.
This means that professors will hold a meeting outside of class to discuss a current problem.
Božović told Pobjeda that in this way they want to warn the authorities that they must respect the regulations and that their salaries have been reduced illegally.
The union members announced that they would then give the authorities 15 days to correct the salary calculation in a way that would ensure that no one's salary was reduced.
If no compromise is reached, a session of the Main Board will follow, at which it was announced that models for further radicalization will be considered - suspension of classes, mass protest or, as they said, something else.
Minister of Education, Science and Innovation Anđela Jakšić Stojanović announced last week that she had asked Prime Minister Milojko Spajić to increase certain allowances for teachers through amendments to the Sectoral Collective Agreement - the allowance for class teachers to be increased from ten to 12 percent, and allowances for higher titles by 0,2 percent each.
