STERM-i maintains the call for a strike on September 23, due to an increase in insufficient teaching staff that aims to hide serious deficiencies in the return to schools.The STERM Intersindical STERM Inter-Union Teaching Workers Union of the Murcian Region denounces that the erratic policy of the Ministry of Education and the lack of political will for negotiation and the real and sustained reinforcement of the regional Public School have marked this beginning of the course that has filled many of the teachers with discomfort and indignation.The measures adopted by Education continue to be insufficient to guarantee safe conditions in which to develop the teaching function in the classrooms of educational centers in the Region.
Although the social pressure and the notice of mobilizations served to end the immobility of the regional administration, the truth is that there are still many issues that have not been addressed.José Manuel Fernández, co-spokesperson of the STERM-i union, insists that "the maximum capacity and stable groups of coexistence are a sham, so it is necessary to insist on the need to lower the ratios and structurally reinforce the teaching staff , and not as a simple temporary patch.
In addition, the obligation of blendedness implies an increase in the workload that is not accompanied by any plan to guarantee both human and material resources to carry it out, leaving teachers unprotected again given the shortcomings of the administration itself after years of imposing cuts in education ".The union insists that Education has not reviewed or updated the protocols for the protection of vulnerable teachers.
The management of the applications accumulates weeks of delay by the Mutual, without conducting face-to-face risk assessments and the teaching staff has been forced to join the center without the health and safety report being issued.Therefore, from STERM they insist that it is necessary to maintain the strike day convened jointly with the CCOO Teaching Federation this September 23 within a mobilizing process that will be extended until the demands of the teaching staff are met.
Even more so after the abusive decrees of "maximum" services decreed by the Ministry of Education that reinforce the union request that, according to Fernández, "it is still necessary to reinforce the teaching staff to face the context of the pandemic with health and educational guarantees.
we live.
