The Teachers' Union is preparing to strike again today (Monday), due to difficulties that arose during the negotiations with representatives of the Ministry of Finance.
According to sources involved in the talks, the teachers rejected the finance ministry's offer for a monthly salary of NIS 8,600 for a beginning teacher.
The meeting today was held between the director of salaries at the Ministry of Finance, Kobi Bar-Natan, and the director general of the Ministry of Education, Dalit Stauber, and the secretary general of the Teachers' Union, Yaffa Ben-David.
According to sources in the Ministry of Finance, the wage model was again discussed in depth and the list of changes that the Treasury demands to see as calendar memory beyond a flexible system for tenure and dismissal was also discussed.
When the rock of controversy is over the level of salaries and the variety of changes that the Treasury wants to see in the employment of teachers but the Treasury emphasizes that they, for their part, have put a salary proposal on the table.
According to the same sources in the Treasury, today there has not been significant enough progress on the part of Ben David.
The ombudsman's decision was that negotiations could be conducted subject to budget constraints intended for a smaller agreement in order not to bind the next government so that in fact the ombudsman's directive is that an agreement can be signed for a shorter period.
The Treasury emphasizes that they are prevented from making any practical progress in relation to the proposal made yesterday and this is the dramatic gap between the parties.
The same sources emphasized to Walla!
Because the policy of the Ministry of Finance that the agreements do not buy money, wage agreements are supposed to improve quality and productivity even in this case the agreement will be at least years.
"Such an agreement has implications for other organizations that it is harmful," the sources said.
"If only a wage increase is given without accepting changes in favor of the system, it may set a precedent that this is the situation in the other industries with which the Treasury has to sign wage agreements."
