We end the strike with the following conditions:

For more than 15 years salaries in the agency have not increased and we have been promised that there will be a 40% -60% increase in salaries; We will have paid maternity leave; Strikers will be reimbursed for the working time missed during the strike; Social agents and senior social agents will be provided with transportation; One-month contracts will be canceled and one-year contracts will be signed with all employees; A special communication platform will be created between the employee and the employer; The supplement rule will be improved and the 15-day limit will be removed;

This is just the beginning, our collective struggle continues!” - reads the information spread by the Solidarity Network.
