Rondônia has already shutdown, Rio de Janeiro kicks off on Wednesday and will act unions in 44 days 14, 15 and 16 March
After a tumultuous first month at school carnival holiday, discussions on the workday of teachers in Sao Paulo and closing of schools because of the strike by police in Bahia, public networks throughout Brazil may be no classes the next day. Teachers promise - and in some cases have already started - Strikes law enforcement category of the national floor.
In state of Rondonia, the strike has already begun on Thursday, shortly after the carnival. In Rio de Janeiro, the category will be a strike next Tuesday, the 28th, to act in front of the Assembly. On days 14, 15 and 16 March, 42 other teachers' unions, including all state, will join them on strike for three days.
The strike was marked with two claims. The first is to press for payment of the national floor in 2012 is R$ 1.451, The second is the campaign for the National Education Plan for the Decade 2011-2020 provides 10% of GDP for the area and not 8% as the current project in the Senate. A third demand of the strike came on the eve of the carnival and angered teachers.
Governors want to reduce adjustment
The governor Sérgio Cabral (PMDB), the Rio de Janeiro, Antonio Anastasia (PSDB), Minas Gerais, Renato Casagrande (PSB), the Holy Spirit, Cid Gomes (PSB), Ceará, and Jaques Wagner (PT), the Bahia, press the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Marco Maia (PT) to rate a feature that changes the way the floor is adjusted to teacher. By law, the change is based on increasing the Fund for the Development of Basic Education (Fundeb), which should represent 21% this year. The governors want it for inflation, which would be 6%.
For the National Confederation of Education Workers (CNTE) that would change the purpose of the law of the floor, which was the professional value. For the body, restore inflation will not help to equalize the pay of teachers to other professionals with higher education - hence the creation of law.
Last year, 16 states had geve
In 2011, besides the unified strike the floor, which lasted only one day, 16 states went on strike. Classes were suspended for periods ranging from eight days in Bahia, the 113 days, in Minas Gerais. Because of this, eight units of the federation had postponed the school holidays. Others have not reached the annual minimum 200 school days provided by law.
São Paulo
In the case of Sao Paulo, is already scheduled a vote on March 16, after the joint strike, to decide whether the union (Apeoesp) supports the continuation of the strike. In 2011, the category has a "truce" last year for the new state secretary of Education, Herman Voorwald, start working, but now is unhappy with the outcome.
The main problem was a change in the workload of teachers, who led a court fight has not ended. By law, every teacher should have at least a third of their paid working hours (33%) reserved for extracurricular work, such as training and preparation of lessons. Until last year, São Paulo provided only 17%, but the government announced the repeal of a law that made the time required to increase the teacher just dropping a previous law which equaled lessons of 50 minutes to an hour. With 10 minutes left over in each class and only one class a week less on a charge of 40 hours weekly, the percentage rose to 33%.
The move angered the union that is campaigning to reverse the regional measure. "If you need, go to the strike," said the organization's president, Maria Isabel Noronha.
