Roast A Chicken

I’ve probably mentioned family-style grilled chicken 🐓 too many times already.

As per reports, the teachers’ strike against the education department is ongoing on Tuesday (25 March), marking the first of three planned strike days this week, continuing through Thursday (27 March).

• Two additional strike days are scheduled for next week on 01 April and 02 April, impacting teachers, kitchen staff, and cleaning personnel in public education.

• Talks between the Basque Government’s Department of Education and major unions (LAB, Steilas, ELA, and CC OO) ended without an agreement early this morning, leading to the continuation of protests.

• Unions argue that the government’s offer is insufficient and are demanding a new collective agreement to replace the one that expired in 2010, citing a 23 percent loss in purchasing power and deteriorating working conditions.

• The Basque Government expressed regret over the strike’s impact on students and families, maintaining that its proposal addresses key concerns, including reduced teaching hours, salary improvements, and additional resources.
