From the Coordinator
Dignity Privatizes not sympathize with the struggle of the / as schools in the city, to stop the closure of 82 degrees and jobs.
The macrismo decreed the closure of 82 degrees in New York City public schools, that means the same as destroying 10 schools! The resolution ordered by Macri and endorsed by the nefarious Abel Posse, is being implemented by Education Minister Esteban Bullrich. On 22 February, many of the / as 82 teachers holders of such degrees were not allowed to take up their positions, by order of the Ministry, implemented by some schools address. That's why they decided to concentrate on the Ministry to demand an answer, and before the hearing of the government, making the place held for more than 15 hours. However, the struggle continues against a government that once again insists on forcibly imposing unpopular measures you take.
In one maneuver, the government is moving with a brutal dissection of Education and once again violates the rights / workers, under the Statute of the City Teaching. Again make it clear their goal of destroying public education and labor rights.
While public schools are falling apart, Macri doubled in two years subsidies to private schools. Funding and private businesses with the money of all / as we / as. At the same time, in the 2010 budget allocated to public education, fell the items for schools and infrastructure was not provided for any increase of teachers. The schools are falling apart and dozens are still without gas, close degrees, precarious teaching work, rights are cut possible for teachers contracted workers, and arrive at the face to provide a "surge" of 9% salary in 4 months (by March 25 pesos)!
To Macri and Bullrich, education is only for those who can afford it, stealing the right to / as girls and boys of working families. From the Coordinator

We also call for respect for jobs possible for teachers, retaining all existing grades and schools to ensure the hundreds of children who, within days of starting classes, have not yet vacant, mainly in south of the city.
