They've called three strike days in July in Bizkaia's self-schools

ELA and CCOO have called three strike days, on 8, 16 and 21 July, in the Bizkaia self-schools, to call for progress in negotiating the provincial agreement.

In a statement, the unions have explained that they have held seven "no progress" negotiating meetings due to the "blockade" of the APAVI employers.

"The proposal put forward by the employers does not guarantee an update according to the CPI (it proposes an increase of 2.5% by 2025), nor does it include any measures to reduce the working hours of teachers, nor a clearly insufficient reduction for the staff of the administration," they say.

ELA and CCOO believe that "going on strike is a necessary measure in the face of a lack of will on the part of employers" to achieve "decent working conditions, fair wages and balanced working hours through strike days and mobilizations".
