Wage increases of 170.000 Education, Health and University employees

Education, health and University Employees of the category of common wires will benefit from wage increases after the decision to repeal Article 87 bis, while Education and Health Syndicates praised this decision, but it considered it insufficient in view of the decline of the purchasing power and the rising prices.

Beneficiaries of the decision to abolish Article 87 bis, after passing it under the Finance Act 2015, at the Ministers’ Council, on Tuesday, the category of common wires, which numbers in the education sector reached 150.000 employees, who are working as security agents, and janitorial staff, and professional workers, as their wages range between 9.000 and 11.000 DZD, as it is expected that their wage reached after the abolition of Article 87 bis, 18.000 DZD, which is equivalent to the wage-base content, in other words, that the increase in wages will range between 7.000 and 10.000 DZD .

In the subject, Messaoudi Aouamri, the Official Spokesman for the National Union of Education and Training Workers, explained that the category of common wires in the education sector alone, is the beneficiary of the decision to abolish Article 87 bis, which the rest of the staff who are belonging to the national education sector, will not benefit from these increases. However, he considered it far from the level of the aspirations of about 150.000 employees, especially as most of them are called the “Marginalized of Education Sector”, which the Ministry of National Education refused their integration in the sector.

At the second level, officers of the common wires in the health sector, came in the second place, as they will benefit from it primarily those with low wages, as most of them have wages that are ranging between 12.000 and 15.000 DZD, and are working as security guards, and a number of them are working as drivers of ambulances, and the workers of cleaning and maintenance, and after the abolition of Article 87 bis, their salaries reach the minimum wage and is set at 18.000 DZD.
