Once again the president of the republic to educators excludes Venezuela's minimum wage adjustment and the revision of the tab of government salaries.
The minimum wage was set at 25% to two parts, from 1223.89 to 1407.4 Bs Bs from May 1 (15%) and Bs 1548.14 from 1 September (10%) this year. In principle, this increase is below inflation last year when it stood at 27.4% and if we add the 7.6% accumulated in the first quarter of this year, we have that this inadequate adjustment is 10 points below inflation in the period mentioned.
Far below was also the cost of food basket-FVM CENDAS Family in March was Bs 2862.23, which shows a deficit of Bs 1454.83 (a 50.83%) ie the minimum wage if it became effective today, would have a buying power of only 49.17% of the cost of the CENDAS CAF-FVM.
average base salaries prevailing in the following categories of teachers (cat.I) against the minimum wage are these:
- Prof-Lic.33, 33 h Bs 1,854. 446.60 Bs just above the minimum wage in May but in September it would shorten the gap to only
- 33.33 h Bs 1,508,40. Just 101 over May and Bs 39.74 below minimum wage to September.
305.86 Bs TSU
The vast majority of teachers under the Ministry of Education, governors and mayors are in the academic category I, according to the report and account of 2010 is 188,817 MPPE interim (all category I) and these we add the approximately 140 000 teachers in recent years were given the title according to the statement to the media by the educational authorities, have more than 320,000 educators category I are earning a base salary of 1.2 minimum wages. In the land of the exorbitant price of a barrel of oil, the Venezuelan teachers receive starvation wages.
With regard to the announcement of the revised salaries Tab of Public Administration, this does not provide educators at that their salaries will be even further behind to the extent that a skilled worker in the wage scale announced by the president of the republic will earning an average of 3 million Bolivars well above the salary of a teaching professional.
Finally, the current Collective Agreement expires on 12 May. At this time the teachers unions are in the process of introducing their respective projects to the National Labour Inspectorate to meet the requirements of law and thus can begin negotiations for a new collective agreement.
Now this is what the law says should be. But the reality is different. The latter contract was in effect over a year from its introduction, discussion and enactment because the obstacles placed by the employer-government for approval. To have political will by government to discuss a new collective agreement with trade unions, we would be at least the same time, we talk to a new salary adjustment for educators would be for next year, 2012.
As educators we have no alternative to exclusion and discrimination of which we were subjected by the president of the republic by refusing the salary adjustment to organize and mobilize to conquer with the industrial action that the government will denied.
In this regard we invite all educators to protest the May 1 due to increased salary from the Lido Centre Chacaíto from 9 am.
