PIT-CNT will continue to fight for more resources for education and health

In this sense, he recalls The redistribution made by the parliamentarians allowed the regularization of some 700 auxiliaries of the Primary.

Among the changes that the NTC PIT was able to include in the accountability project that Parliament entered on Saturday, Pereira pointed to the regularization of another Primary Auxiliary litter (300), the pre- salary agreement reached Friday in the health – which establishes a salary increase for submerged wages – and the salary increase for officials of the Institute for Children and Adolescents of Uruguay ( INAU) and the National Institute for the Social Inclusion of Adolescents (Inisa).

CNT pointed out that 6% of the gross domestic product (GDP) for education was left among the debts, a promise of the president of Tabaré Vázquez. "We can not move the trend to go to 6% for education, it is the product of a debate that we have not managed to win against the executive or against society, "he said.

In this regard, he stressed the need for the country to invest more to provide quality education for all, especially in the face of the new technological revolution. For the PIT-CNT, this occurs because the most favored sectors have a larger tax burden. "We could not convince the executive, or the society, which lacks information," he said.

In this line, said that the parliamentary scene the central worker will continue to insist on more resources for education and also for health. Pereira, who is a Primary official, said that one of the priorities will be to address the wage inequality suffered by full-time teachers, who receive a salary for the first four hours of work and another minor for the next four hours. "In this way, teachers prefer to have two positions in a common school than to be a full-time teacher," he explained.

The chief indicated that on Wednesday, the Executive Secretariat of the PIT-CNT will badyze in depth the project of Accountability and surely new mobilization measures will be established for the parliamentary stage.

For his part, Martín Pereira, leader of the Federation of Public Health Officials (FFSP) stressed the pre-agreement reached the salary reached in health, but said that the union "will continue to go through the parliamentary scene to get more resources. " He explained that even if a wage element had been obtained over the CPI (Consumer Price Index), a direct wage increase had not been obtained, which was another claim of the Federation.

However, he stated that "the intensity of the conflict in health is likely to diminish". The resolution made by the FFSP was that if it did not get more resources for health, union officials would start a strike starting August 6th.

For his part, the Secretary General of the Communist Party, Juan Castillo, said that Parliament will seek greater reallocations of resources in priority areas, such as education and health.
