Professors go on strike
KLAIPEDA - Students and employees at the Lithuanian Academy of Physical Education and Universities of Klaipeda and Siauliai are planning a precautionary strike in a bid to get more state funding.Employees of most other higher education institutions will remain in their workplaces during the hours of strike (10 a.m.- 12 p.m.) and will not gather into rallies.
By means of the strike higher education employees will demand for higher education schools to be compensated for the funds lost by relieving students in state financed slots from paying partial tuition.
The association is also demanding to raise wages for operating personnel in higher education and include this employee group into a long-term wage raising program in 2009-2011.
The association notes that should the government and ministry fail to satisfy the said demands by Oct. 30, it retains its right to organize a widespread and long-term strike of higher education employees.
