Trade unions demand firmness from the rector in the face of the "underfunding" of the UPV
The trade unions are calling on the rectoral team to press the Basque Government to increase funding and not to deteriorate the teaching and working conditions of the UPV.
LAB, STEILAS, ELA and CGT/LKN have denounced that the University of the Basque Country supports an infrastructure that complicates its operation and that, they say, benefits a more privatized university model. They have called on the rectoral team to be more firm in demanding more public resources.
Trade unions point out that this lack of funding prevents the resolution of structural problems and directly affects teachers. They stress that wages have significantly lost purchasing power and that teachers starting their careers at the UPV earn less than a new secondary school teacher.
As a result of this situation, some newly created teaching places are becoming vacant and some departments are at risk of being left without sufficient teaching staff. According to ELA, they have also criticized the preferential treatment that private universities receive from institutions.
In response, the trade unions have called for stops and mobilizations in the early days of December on the campuses of Leioa, San Sebastián and Vitoria, as well as a final protest to the Delegation of the Basque Government in Bilbao to demand a financial commitment to guarantee the quality of the university's public service.
