Valencian teacher strike: 500€ more, ratios, and a debate without consensus
The Burbuja.info thread has accumulated 216 responses in 24 days with no respite: Valencian teachers demand 500 euros gross more per month, lower class ratios, and an infrastructure plan, while the forum splits between those who defend them as poorly paid civil servants and those who label them privileged. The key data: according to the OECD, Spanish teachers start with relatively high salaries, but the career ladder stagnates.
500€ or 200€? The offer that doesn't convince
The Generalitat offered 200€, and unions did not yield. A forum user calculates that the full raise would cost 2.5 billion annually. The ten-hour marathon negotiation ended with unions walking away from the table: "no union signs the agreement and the indefinite strike will continue." Others joke: "why not ask for a villa?"
How much a Valencian teacher earns (and works)
A user breaks down salaries: between 1,900€ and 2,750€ net in 14 payments, depending on rank and seniority. This is compared to the OECD average: starting salaries are relatively high, but pogre is flat. The teaching load is 13 days in December and 0 in July and August. Many conclude: "they earn well per hour worked."
The political background and housing
Several forum users point out that the strike is controlled by the STEPV, a union linked to Compromís and ERC. The context: housing prices in Valencia have skyrocketed, and teachers assigned to rural areas cannot find affordable rentals. "The strike happens now because the PP governs," one states. Another adds: "they are the same as those calling for Mazón's resignation."
With negotiations broken and the indefinite strike ongoing, the forum is left with one question: is this a matter of salary dignity or political opportunism? Meanwhile, bars near the Conselleria are thriving.
