Teachers Go Strike in Kutaisi

February 9, 2004

Teachers Go On Strike in Kutaisi

The trade union "Solidaroba" initiated a teachers' strike in Kutaisi that has been on-going for several days. Thousands of teachers from 40 secondary schools and 16 primary schools went on strike. They refused to continue teaching until the local government gives them an official document affirming the 20% increase in salary they were promised in December and January.

The teachers plan to organize a sit-in and hunger-strike if they do not get the salary increase.
