Education Minister, Alberto Sileoni.
The five main teachers unions rejected the Government’s offer of raising minimum wage to 2800 pesos, after a meeting held in the Labour Ministry. Teachers insist on a 28 percent raise and a minimum wage of 3000 pesos.
The meeting took place at the Labour Ministry and was led by national Education Minister Alberto Sileoni, representatives from the unions and Labour Minister Carlos Tomada.
Representatives from the Confederation of Argentine Education Workers (CTERA), the Argentine Union of Private Teachers (SADOP), Technical Education Teachers’ Association (AMET), Argentine Teachers’ Union (UDA) and the Confederation of Argentine Teachers (CEA) attended the meeting.
Unions have asked for a 28 percent hike in salaries, which would take the teachers’ minimum wage from $2,340 to $3000 pesos.
