 The daily grind is what usually helps me think. Maybe it happens to you. While I

was planning some classes at home, I heard on the radio that the INDEC had
established that for November the minimum wage will reach $57,900. I stopped
because I thought I had heard wrong, but no. Indeed, businessmen, officials and
"trade unionists" met to decide how much our minimum wage is. The increase in
this, which today is $47,850, will be staggered three times: $51,200 in
September; $54,550 in October and finally $57,900 in November. I don't know if
these people should be given a calculator, because there is more than evidence
that three fifths matter to them. They are basic life calculations. If I ask you
"How much rent do you pay?" Surely this number already covers a large part of it
or its entirety. I dont know,

During June 2022, the monthly variation of the basic food basket (CBA) and the
total basic basket (CBT) with respect to May 2022 was 4.6%, so that a family made
up of two adults and two children he needed $104,217 to avoid being poor and
$46,525 to avoid being considered indigent, according to the National Institute
of Statistics and Censuses (Indec).

As of August 19, 2022, the value of 1 (one) Total Basic Basket type 2, according
to INDEC, is $111,298.

According to the last agreement of the bureaucracy, the national minimum floor
for teachers was $55,000 from June 1; $60,000 as of July 1; $64,000 in September
to reach $68,400 in December, which implies an increase of 60.8%, as detailed in
a statement from the Education portfolio. Annual inflation at this time of year
is estimated at 71%. In other words, we have a much smaller percentage and in
installments. Yes, it is very sad. And if a person like me, who has been
mathematical all his life, can close this calculation, I bet that they understand
well the agreements they close.

Today, working three positions in different spaces as a teacher, I barely manage
to cover the poverty line. According to the salary grid of Ademys, the position
of manager hardly exceeds it. I do 32 hours in positions regulated by the State
and 5 hours more in informal work spaces. We add almost a total of 36 hours
without counting the endless mornings and afternoons of planning, coordination
and support to each student who has a personal learning process that can almost
never be respected due to all the mental load mentioned above. How many teachers
can correctly accompany the learning process? And the personal situations of each
student involved. How do we do it? The social always crosses us, that is not
counted, it only adds frustration to the job.

Two things bother me. First, that the strung-outs give themselves the trouble of
establishing our salary when we are the ones who know how much we need to make
ends meet. Second, that they have made us believe that this is natural, that
trade unionism is this and that we have to bank everything as it is. We believe
that we have to work very many hours running after the salary. A never-ending
movie, locked in the same scene for decades. No, what is happening is not normal,
it is not right, it is wrong. We deserve a life to live it. Let's break
individualism. Compa, you're not alone, let's get out of this once and for all.
