Teachers and school workers begin this Monday, September 18th, a week of strike, called by the Union of All Education Professionals (Stop), for the recovery of service time and against what they say are several injustices in the sector .
After the first days of the start of the school year, around 1,3 million students begin the first week of classes today, but some may find the school gates closed due to the strike by teachers and staff.
The strike, which will last until Friday, was called by Stop and is the first strike with an impact on teaching activities in the year 2023/2024, during which professionals promise to maintain last year's protest until their demands are answered .
At stake is the recovery of six years, six months and 23 days of frozen service time, but also a set of other injustices felt by teaching and non-teaching staff.
As for teachers, Stop refers to teachers affected by the rules of the sickness mobility regime and the conditions of teachers in a single teaching regime, in the first cycle.
On the other hand, the union highlights the lack of technical and operational assistants in schools and the precarious working conditions of those available.
On the last of the five days of strike, Friday, teachers and non-teachers take to the streets in a national demonstration of all education professionals, in Lisbon.
At the end of August, Stop leader André Pestana also called on professionals to organize strike funds during the week of protest.
In addition to the Stop strike, a strike over overwork, overtime and the non-teaching component called by the platform of nine trade unions, which includes Fenprof and the National Education Federation (FNE), has been underway since Tuesday.
