Pick up the bag and until 6 a.m.
“A year and a half ago we showed the Department of Education its intention of dialogue and negotiation,” says Professor Aitzol Izquierdo. Under the impulse of “the unwillingness to find a solution to a situation that is incomprehensible to us”, an indefinite lockdown began a month ago in Vitoria-Gasteiz, which has been extended since Monday to the EASO Politécnica de Donostia-San Sebastián: “We want to make it clear that we are not on strike, we are giving our daily classes. In the evening, we got together in Easo to take the bags and make our problem see. At six o’clock in the morning, again, collecting everything and getting underway, each to his school.”
This situation affects more than 200 teachers in the Basque Autonomous Community. They work as teachers in the workshop, but without solidity: “We are able to fill our posts by level of education, but not stand for opposition tests. Even if we are not experts in law, it is clear that it is a question of willingness to resolve this labour conflict. We only ask for the same rights and obligations as the other teachers who are on the lists with us.”
