The mobilization, organized by the Assemblea Educativa de Terrassa, covered several emblematic points of the city, braving the rain. The procession began its route in Doctor Robert Square, continued along Carrer Major to Plaça Vella, and passed through Carrer de la Unió, in front of the headquarters of the CCOO and UGT unions, which have signed an agreement with the ministry that the protesters reject. Finally, they paraded along Raval de Montserrat, in front of the City Hall, before concluding at Cal Reig, the headquarters of the Minyons de Terrassa.
At Cal Reig, the demonstrators received support from the Minyons de Terrassa, who were holding a gathering with the Castellers de Cornellà and those from Sarrià. In a gesture of solidarity, several 'casteller' groups raised human towers, giving visibility to the demands of the teaching collective. Members of the Sindicat d'Estudiants de Sabadell also joined the protest.
Modernism built factories, education builds people.
The main demands of the teachers include a salary increase that adjusts to the rise in the CPI, after an accumulated loss of 25% in purchasing power since 2009. They also call for reduced student-teacher ratios to ensure real attention to diversity, a decrease in bureaucratic burden, more resources for schools, and a true democratization of educational institutions.
Given the
“"passivity of the Department of Education"
, a month of mobilizations has been announced. The protests began last Wednesday and will continue with a general strike next Tuesday, May 19, in Vallès Occidental. The following day, there will be a second strike by Catalan nurseries. A new general strike is scheduled for May 27, culminating in a unified demonstration in Barcelona on June 5. These actions are promoted by unions such as USTEC, Professors de Secundària, CGT Ensenyament, and Intersindical.
