Education "works" for teachers to collect their first salary increase in May
Teachers and professors will receive around 800 euros in a single payment that was agreed upon in the agreement with UGT and CCOO
BarcelonaThe Government "is working" so that the first salary increase for teachers provided for in the agreement between UGT and CCOO becomes a reality in May. Sources from the Department of Education confirm that they are working on these deadlines, but they avoid assuring whether it will finally be possible for teachers and professors to receive the 800 euros salary increase next month, which would correspond to the 30% increase in the agreed specific complement. The salary increase is one of the points of the agreement that the department led by Esther Niubó signed a few weeks ago with the two unions but without the support of USTEC, the majority union in the Catalan education sector.
The agreement includes that within four years, teachers will earn 3,000 gross euros more per year than they do now. For now, as reported by UGT – one of the two signatory unions – the payment that should materialize in May would be 838 euros for infant and primary school teachers and 857 for secondary school teachers.
