Public Sector demands 20% salary raise right now!
On Friday (21 February 2014) 28 trade unions from Public Sector arranged an all day event in front of the Hungarian Parliament in Budapest from 10 am till 6 pm.
Leaders of these organizations continuously are speaking about what is the biggest problem in their area.
In spite of the nice propaganda of the government most of the employees of public sector are in trouble. Official point of view: Results of Hungarian Government are better than ever. But actually who works in public sector, doesn’t feel like this.
In the last 6 years there was no salary raise, the 13Th month salary and other benefits were abolished, but, for example, there was 20% layoffs in Public Collections.
In most of the cases a high-qualified person has low salary, what isn’t enough for living, but the task in the workplace is much more than ever (unpaid overtime and so on). The vulnerability is higher than ever due to the new legislation. In Hungary public servants could be fired without any justification.
Only a few people are taking part in trade union demonstrations, because many of them are working under threat in their workplace.
