The Snes-FSU, the main secondary teachers’ union, has filed a strike notice for the week of January 3-7, 2022. This notice “will be renewed throughout the month of January”, specifies the union on its website. In its notice, filed on December 28, the Snes-FSU is concerned about the measures judged “insufficient” taken by the government to fight against the fifth wave of Covid-19.
“The lack of government announcements for middle and high schools in the middle of the fifth wave, with a variant circulating quickly, is irresponsible.”
The Snes-FSU does not call for the closure of schools, but “protective and preventive measures to best protect students and staff”. He finds that “the minister is careful not to take such measures and systematically responds ‘open school’ to almost all arrests”. According to the union, the “open school”, defended for months by Jean-Michel Blanquer, the Minister of National Education, “in reality only serves to mask the emptiness of this government’s health policy in schools”.
