Aachen: Parents’ representatives are demanding financial relief
Many parents see themselves as the victims of labor disputes between the chairs and call for a quick agreement.
In Aachen, among other places, parents have expressed their displeasure at the closure of facilities. They are demanding financial relief from the city because of the warning strikes in daycare centers and open all-day schools. Unpaid salaries to striking educators should benefit parents so that they can at least partially finance alternative care or their loss of salary.
Another demand: The city of Aachen should set up emergency groups or leave daycare rooms open so that parents can set up emergency groups there themselves.
Background of the warning strikes – the wage conflict
Verdi wants to fight for 10.5 percent more wages for employees in the public sector. Managing Director Henrike Eickholt says for the Verdi district Ruhr-West, please “Citizens, especially parents, for understanding of this warning strike call“. The present offer of the public employers let “unfortunately no other answer, because it is disrespectful and fuels the collective bargaining conflict“. The resentment of the employees is enormous, the willingness to go on strike is increasing.”from day to day“.
