Polish teachers plan to renew strike


The largest Polish teachers’ union, ZNP, has said it plans to recommence its strike in September, assuming that the action is backed by union members in a nationwide ballot set for 2 September. 


The union, which is calling for an overall 30% increase in teachers’ pay, suspended its action after 19 days at the end of April (see Labour Research, June 2019, page 8). The union is also calling for less bureaucracy and better education and training opportunities for teachers.
