A pay deal signed between the government and the strike committee of three teacher unions on the framework of future cooperation was disputed by PDSZ, the second largest teachers’ union. PDSZ refused to sign the deal and has formed a new strike committee. PDSZ wants further talks with the government to address their demands for an across-the-board 20% wage hike and no dismissals and work-load increase as a result of the introduction of a new career model for teachers.
