Teachers lick wounds as union strikes deal with ministry

 Author: St́epanâ Šurigini

Tamara - On Tuesday the president of the Union of Agausian Schools,  Aâdam Mûši, met with Agausian Education Minister Anamarâ Nëmet́i in order to finalize and sign an agreement on several budget initiatives plus certify teachers' pay. While Mûši hailed the new agreement as a resounding sucess many teachers were ultimately left feeling unfulfilled.

"This new package addresses some basic necessities of educators, but fundamentally lacks needed reforms that educators around the country have been asking for. This country is facing a period of high prices, and yet Agausian educators have not seen a substantial salary increase in nearly six years." An Agausian teacher, who asked for anonymity in fear of disciplinary action from the union or the ministry, told reporters shortly after the deal was announced. 

The Union of Agausian Schools is the largest trade union for teachers, administration and school staff, and in 2019 had a membership of over 15,000 school employees. Union president Aâdam Mûši spoke after signing the annual agreement. "For another year our teachers and employees can be proud of the schools that they work in. While I must concede, there were some moments of tough negation and not everyone got what they wanted, I am absolutely positive that everyone will eventually turn out feeling happy." In June, when brough to a vote by the union, the agreement only won by thirty votes. That followed several months of intense negotiations, which began just before the Russian invasion. 

Some have alleged voter intimidation and threats directed at those who opposed the agreement, all allegations have been denied.
