They argued that primary school teachers earn between 7% and 21% less despite having to deal with increasing workloads. Teachers warned that further stoppages will be forthcoming unless the government pledges to invest in raising wages. In the following weeks, this led to a political crisis for the outgoing government, as the acting labour minister announced that he was not willing to sign the 2018 budget if the teachers’ wages were not increased. A crisis was averted, as the outgoing coalition agreed that a ‘substantial amount’ will go to teachers’ pay in the 2018 budget.  \u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>English: \u003Ca href=\"http:\u002F\u002Fnltimes.nl\u002F2017\u002F08\u002F31\u002Fcabinet-crisis-averted-deal-reached-teachers-salary-increase\">http:\u002F\u002Fnltimes.nl\u002F2017\u002F08\u002F31\u002Fcabinet-crisis-averted ... \u003C\u002Fa>  \u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\u003Ca href=\"http:\u002F\u002Fwww.dutchnews.nl\u002Fnews\u002Farchives\u002F2017\u002F08\u002Fsitting-cabinet-could-fall-over-teachers-pay\u002F\">http:\u002F\u002Fwww.dutchnews.nl\u002Fnews\u002Farchives\u002F2017\u002F08\u002Fsitting-cabinet-could-fall ... \u003C\u002Fa>  \u003Ca href=\"http:\u002F\u002Fnos.nl\u002Fartikel\u002F2177999-doorbraak-voor-vakbond-meer-vaste-banen-bij-pakjesbedrijf-dhl.html\"> \u003C\u002Fa> \u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp class=\"CM3\">\u003Cspan class=\"discreet\">\u003Cspan color=\"#666666\" size=\"2\">For more information, please contact the editor Jan Cremers, Amsterdam Institute for Advanced Labour Studies (AIAS) \u003C\u002Fspan>\u003Ca href=\"mailto:cbn-aias@uva.nl\">\u003Cspan color=\"#0567d1\" size=\"2\">cbn-aias@uva.nl\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fa>\u003Cspan color=\"#666666\" size=\"2\"> or the communications officer at the ETUI, Willy De Backer \u003C\u002Fspan>\u003Ca href=\"mailto:wdebacker@etui.org\">\u003Cspan color=\"#0567d1\" size=\"2\">wdebacker@etui.org\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fa>\u003Cspan color=\"#666666\" size=\"2\">.
