This contraselection is what detractors then use as justification against paying proper wages. "Are these people who you think should be earning more?" All the while they don't see that if you pay for shit, you get shit, and then you realize that your kid is not learning at school, and your parents died because the ambulance didn't come.
It's going to be a long fight, and I wish them the best of luck and all strength.
They tried this exact same thing with the teachers, as well as accusing them of disturbing the finals (in the sense that the baccalaureate exam could no longer be organized this year) and leaving high school graduates unable to get to university, or threaten that the school year would get longer as the kids could not get their final marks.
This had little effect, as the students/pupils associations (not sure how you call kids up to high school) announced they would support the strike, lol.
I do hope they get better paid, as well as others. Our country surely deserves more overall. 😁
