The Unirio Teachers’ Association (Adunirio) demands more budget for universities, in addition to salary recovery, which varies from 22.71% to 34.32%, depending on the category. Adunirio also defends the occupation of public space on campus in a unified strike.
“How does this reduction appear in our daily lives? Unfinished works, lack of basic equipment such as air conditioning, chairs, tables and boards; lack of equipment for laboratories; absence of teachers’ rooms in several departments; presence of mold and infiltration in rooms classrooms and offices; poor bathroom conditions”, says material from the Local Mobilization Command (MBL).
