Sofia News Agency: Scandal Disrupts Bulgaria Teachers Talks, No Let Up in Strike
After another day of rallying in downtown Sofia, representatives of the striking teachers furiously walked out of talks with the cabinet, aimed at breaking the deadlock over their demands for higher wages.
Unionist leader Yanka Takeva said she was shocked by the development of the talks and accused the cabinet of backing out on an offer that had inspired hopes the gap between the two warring sides may be narrowing.
The first indication of a breakthrough was given on Wednesday, when the two parties agreed on 20% increase in the education workers’ wages as of November.
“That means the rise is set up at BGN 88,80 for all people, who work in the education system,” syndicate representative explained.
