Teachers in Romania earn more than in Hungary – Hungarians cross the border to teach
Change language:
Even in Romania, teachers earn more than in Hungary. Thus, many of them who live close to the border go to the neighbouring country to work there.
Strike
Teachers continue to strike across the country, although negotiations on their demands will not start until after the elections. Teachers want a one-off, 45% increase in basic wages, so they consider the 30% increase, which was previously introduced by Gergely Gulyás, the Minister of the Prime Minister’s Office, to be insufficient. What is more, the increase would be gradual, and only start next year, according to Portfolio.hu.
Romanian salaries
Shockingly, today, even in Romania, people are earning €150 more net in this field, with less work.
“Romanian teachers’ salaries are around €150 net more per month, while the number of teaching hours per week is 18, compared to 25.5 in Hungary,”
Tamás Totyik, the Vice-President of the Teachers’ Union (Pedagógusok Szakszervezete), told Telex.hu. He added that the actual number of teaching hours is even higher (27 hours), so the hourly wage of a Romanian teacher is higher than that of a Hungarian teacher, even in nominal terms.
Disturbing.
This FACT has been known for considerable time.
The present Government of Hungary – under Prime Minister – Victor Orban – KNOW it.
FACT – is the basic wage – is HIGHER for workers in Romania – than Hungary.
Statistically – across the board – the cost of living in Romania is considerable LOWER than Hungary.
VAT in Romania = 19%
VAT in Hungary =27%
Mr. Prime Minister – what is Going On ???
What side are You on – Mr. Prime Minister ???
WHY – the disjointedness – in basic wages,teaches wages, cost of living and VAT ???
Who it should be ASKED – is getting licking ALL the cream OFF the Sponge Cakes of Hungary ???
April 3rd – National Elections – voters could “Ease there Pain(s).
Post 1989 – never have National Elections been conducted – that have SUCH a MASSIVE bearing on the immediate short & long term – Economic & Finanical position of Hungary – the lives in particular of millions, who live SIMPLE lives – and NEED – to carefully watch – our cost of living expenses.
NOTHING is getting CHEAPER in Hungary.
