Thousands of teachers today expressed their opposition to the Assembly of the Republic The teachers held a general strike and a concentration in São Bento, before the Parliament, while the proposal for the State Budget for 2018 is debated in the specialty. Teachers require the length of service to be counted. The protest was marked by FENPROF, FNE and Faculty's Trade Union Front. On Thursday, the unions resume talks with the government. Mário Nogueira, secretary general of FENPROF, affirms that if "a historic strike is going on," "It's a very strong fight for teachers. The data that have hitherto reached indicate adhesions in the order of 90 percent. Although it is too early to have a global vision. For now it seems to us that this is one of the biggest teacher strikes ever. " According to Mário Nogueira, teachers will "negotiate and find a way to phasing until they can recover time", now erase what people have done, that is not fair. The career progression of teachers has been interrupted for 10 years. The unions and government will return to the negotiating table tomorrow.
