Trade unionists from the Romanian education system have warned they might freeze the school year if their claims are not met by the government.
On Wednesday, they staged a rally in Bucharest, demanding, among others, that 6% of the GDP be allocated to education, and junior teachers receive a 50% pay rise.
The protesters say they will not be satisfied with a minimal increase in their salaries.
Trade union leaders have announced they might organise a referendum, among the teaching staff, on whether to call an all out strike during the elections for the European Parliament, scheduled for next May, or before the end of the school year, in June.
