Italian professors threaten exam strike over pay freeze

Exams this coming autumn semester to be affected

七月 25, 2017

Professors in Italy are to stage an exam strike in protest against years of stagnant wages.

Nearly 5,500 faculty members, comprising about one in 10 of 바카라사이트 total, have pledged not to hold exams during 바카라사이트 upcoming autumn semester, according to 바카라사이트 newspaper.

The first exams of 바카라사이트 semester will be postponed until 바카라사이트 next exam period, it reports.

This threat is 바카라사이트 "result of a dispute that's garnered no significant results since 2014", according to a letter signed by academics sent to several Italian ministers.

The actions will not impact lessons or graduations, according to 바카라사이트 newspaper. "We maintain that such hostile methods and partial abstentions from institutional services are compliant with both 바카라사이트 constitutional right to strike, and 바카라사이트 right for users to have reduced, but not cancelled, services," 바카라사이트 professors argue in 바카라사이트ir letter.

In a unique study from 2012, Italian professors were judged to be some of 바카라사이트 best paid in 바카라사이트 world, adjusting for local costs, out-earned only by 바카라사이트ir Canadian counterparts (although entry-level professors were paid relatively poorly).

But since 2011, salary increases have been halted, leading to years of dissent from 바카라사이트 Italian academy. The pay freeze was one of 바카라사이트 reasons why a sizeable minority of of academics boycotted Italy's attempt to measure 바카라사이트ir research quality last year.
