Teaching union plans two-day strike to press for better pay and conditions

Dutch News  

The largest teaching union is planning a two-day strike at the end of January as it steps up its demands for better pay and working conditions in primary schools. The AOb said a straw poll of around 6,000 members indicated that there was around 90% support for the stoppage on January 30 and 31, which follows a one-day strike on November 6. The previous strike went ahead after the AOb rejected a one-off deal worth €460 mln to finance a pay rise and reduce the workload in schools. Until that money appears we will continue to take action.’ In a separate development, more than 5,000 children in Amsterdam are facing a week off school as teachers protest against shortages of personnel.
