The strike of kindergarten teachers is under a big question mark, reports ERR “Aktuales kaamerat”.
According to the national conciliator and the Ministry of Education, only general education school teachers should go on strike, because the current salary dispute affects them directly. However, Reemo Voltri, president of the Education Workers Union, believes that nursery workers could also go on strike, because their salary depends on that of the teacher. At the same time, he confirmed that they would not go to court to enforce this right.
“Everyone is invited to strike, because everyone’s salary actually depends on the teachers’ minimum wage,” Voltri said.
The deputy mayor of Tartu, Lemmit Kaplinski, told “Actuales kamera” that since the information on the strike is very recent, he cannotA It is yet to be estimated how many kindergarten teachers in Tartu will go on strike. Kaplinski, however, stressed that it is not the state that decides on the salary of kindergarten teachers.
“In fact, the salaries of kindergarten teachers have not been negotiated at the state level. The salaries of kindergarten teachers are agreed in the local government, and the city of Tartu has always maintained and will continue to maintain the salaries of kindergarten teachers kindergarten equal to those of teachers if they have the appropriate qualifications,” Kaplinski explained.
