Some 10,000 teachers strike for higher salaries
Some 10,000 teachers from 108 secondary schools in the capital and local settlements went on a one-day strike on Wednesday, demanding salary increases beginning in January. Currently, the teachers aren’t scheduled to get raises until March.
The strike follows a one-day walkout by kindergarten teachers on Monday that closed 101 kindergartens.
Representatives of the teachers were scheduled to meet with Finance Minister S.Bayartsogt, Social Welfare and Labor Minister T.Gandi, and Education, Culture and Science Minister Yo.Otgonbayar at the offices of the Confederation of Trade Unions at two p.m. on Thursday.
Teachers have warned that if the meeting produces no results, they will strike next week.
