[etni] Unfortunately, the Irgun's achievements don't have much impact

Hi Ronit
 Could you explain what's with the 2% gmul?  That is not connected to the hours 
we get for bagrut gmul, is it? If one teaches yudbet 5pt, F and G, does that 
mean one should be getting 4%? And where do they appear on our paycheck?
Re the Irgun having achieved things- I basically agree with you that Ran Erez 
is the best we can get in our present situation, but he is still not good 
enough. He may have reached a number of impressive agreements with the 
ministries, but when these agreements are not honored, they have little value. 
Just an example: the union has signed an agreement raising the salary of bagrut 
markers (including oral bagrut testing, if I'm not mistaken) from 126 to 140 
per hour. This agreement was supposed to take effect retroactively from Sept 
2008. Bagrut markers keep turning to the marvad, wondering why they are not 
getting paid according to the new rate. And the marvad keeps telling them that 
as long as the marvad doesn't receive official notification from the Ministry 
of Ed, they won't change the rate. The Irgun is aware of the situation, but 
THEY keep saying they "are working on it". In the mean time nearly 3 moedim 
have passed and bagrut markers still
 haven't gotten the money! I'm afraid the same will happen with the agreement 
on reducing the number of students per class and the additional hours the 
students are supposed to get. So yes, on paper the Irgun has achieved things.It 
is just a pity that we don't seem to be able to benefit from them.

Since when has Etni become a political arena and promote the election of 
Dudi Freedman? Don't you think you have crossed the line here? and to say 
that ran Erez has not achieved anything since the strike is misleading. Let 
me refresh your memory. The union has achieved several things:

1. raising public awareness to the issue of education, making it one of the 
top most debated topics among politicians.

2. not alowing the government to enforce Ofek Hadash (which is not about an 
educational revolution - but is merely a bad financial arrangement) on high 
school teachers.

3.  2% for each module (which sums up to 4% raise).

4.  extra hours/payment for working with LD students.

The irgun's job is to protect teachers' rights and Erez does it 
professionally. To fight the sharks at the Treasury you need a shark and 
Erez is.
