Bulgarian Teachers
The BBC reports:
"Strike shuts Bulgaria's schools
Thousands of teachers have begun an indefinite strike in Bulgaria, demanding a doubling of their pay.
State schools and kindergartens across the country cancelled classes and sent children home.
Teachers rejected a 32% pay rise offered during talks with the education ministry last week.
The average monthly wage of Bulgarian teachers is 440 leva (£157; 226 euros), according to the government. The strike is expected to expand on Tuesday.
At least 100,000 people work in Bulgaria's schools."
Yeah right! Take 440 and divide by two and then you'll be at a more accurate number. This equals out to about $140 a month. It's a pretty crappy pay. Though I hope in this strike that the teachers will actually strike. Last time they went on strike the teachers at my school taught their classes but wore ribbons to show they were striking in spirit....uhh sorry Bulgarians, but that doesn't mean anything. I dare you, the Bulgarians, to actually strike and demand to be paid a decent wage!!
