The day of protest began with informative pickets at various schools. Later, demonstrators met in front of the Rubí Town Hall, decorating the square with posters stating that caring for educators is essential for student learning.
“"The situation is unsustainable; all teachers are burnt out with the bureaucratic workload and unmanageable ratios."
Union sources from USTEC and CCOO reported an 85% participation rate by mid-morning. Educators warned of further 24-hour strikes in March if negotiations with the Department of Education do not progress.
