From the LAB we have been told that the agreement is good and they give a positive assessment: "It marks a starting point and we are happy." Even for the STEILAS union, although the pre-agreement "has weaknesses, we are clear that it would be irresponsible to stop the measures that benefit many workers and schools."

These measures include, among others:

Casualties will not be punished.

· Replacements will be completed from the first day.

· The staff will be strengthened in 3 years of Early Childhood Education classrooms.

· Primary and secondary school staff will receive additional resources

they have, and as a result, more than 150 schools in the most difficult situation will improve their teacher-student ratios.

· Teachers with more than 60 years of career will have a one-third reduction in the hours of lectures.

· New family reconciliation permits for all workers.

· Substitutes will be allowed to complete the day (compatibility).

· There will be an increase of 116 workers in Vocational Training, which will be deepened in the Basque Country plan.

However, both the LAB and STEILAS have indicated that they will continue to negotiate. The LAB highlights that in the case of intermediate teachers over 60 years of age, the achievement of a reduction in performance is also one of its main objectives, and STEILAS points out that it remains to be determined, for example, to reduce the ratio in classrooms by 10%.

ELA will try to continue the mobilizations

ELA has not signed the preliminary agreement, considering that it does not respond to the “serious situation of public education”. He mentioned, among other things: “The government’s proposal would leave the provisional rate at 28% at the end of the legislature, far from the 6% promulgated by the unions”; it responds “in a limited way” to the demand for an increase in the workforce; “teachers have suffered a loss of 15% of purchasing power” and this is not solved, nor about the recovery of incentives for retirement. For this reason, “ELA will continue to make every effort to promote a mobilization dynamic that forces the government to respond to our demands.”
