UPI: Bulgarian teachers end 6-week strike
A union leader said teachers in Bulgaria’s state-run schools ended a six-week strike Monday after reaching a compromise that includes a 46 percent pay raise.
Teachers’ union leader Krum Krumov said the government of Prime Minister Sergei Stanishev couldn’t agree on a 100-percent salary hike demanded by striking teachers as that much money wouldn’t be available in the state budget next year, the Bulgarian News Network reported Monday.
Krumov said the teachers accepted the 46 percent monthly salary hike that should be reached by mid-2008.
