A general strike on the 6th for non-regular workers at schools...Inevitably, confusion in the educational field

[Anchor]
Non-regular workers in charge of school meals and care services declared a general strike on the 6th, insisting on improving wages and treatment.

Education offices in each city and province have come up with countermeasures, but if the general strike becomes a reality, confusion on the education site seems inevitable.

Reporter Baek Jong-gyu's report.

[Reporter]
On the 6th, non-regular school workers took to the streets, not the education site, and decided to go on a general strike.

Cooks or workers in administrative, cleaning, and security work in schools account for 41% of the total school faculty.

The reason for the strike is that the government has no will to resolve wage discrimination and does not properly recognize the value of work.

[Yoo Jung-min / Secretary-General of the National University Non-regular Workers' Union: Our general strike is a declaration that we will no longer live as ghost workers in schools, and a move to resist power that does not have to listen to our appeal.]

What they demand is a real wage increase, a consultative body for improving the wage system, and an improvement in high-intensity labor treatment in the emergency room.

In particular, the cafeteria emphasized that there are many workers who can't last even six months due to poor working conditions.

About 60,000 out of 170,000 school non-regular workers are expected to participate in the general strike, and cafeteria and care education could stop right away.

In March last year, non-regular workers at schools staged a general strike with the same purpose, and 10.47% of schools in downtown Seoul suffered disruptions in the supply of school meals.

In response, provincial and provincial offices of education across the country are preparing guidelines for responding to a general strike.

In the case of meals, the Seoul Metropolitan Office of Education plans to simplify the diet or provide meal replacements such as bread and milk, and to respond to caring education by making the most of teachers and staff.

In addition, the school plans to set up its own strike countermeasures plan to guide parents through family newsletters and operate a strike countermeasure situation room, but
If the
general strike becomes a reality, confusion at the school site on the day of the general strike seems inevitable.
