The Teachers Union (ZNP) announced plans to prepare for strike action in September, as union representatives are not happy with the plans to increase wages for teachers by zł.586 for the youngest teachers and zł.381 for the most experienced.

“Local governments received permission to increase the working week of teachers by four hours, from 18 to 22 hours. The time spent in school will increase by 20 percent. Simultaneously, the government plans two increases in wages within a year, on average each amounting to 5 percent,” said ZNP leader Sławomir Broniarz.
