"We demand that the employees of the universities receive an income commensurate with the social and economic importance of higher education," the statement said.

According to the announcement, the trade union has already raised the need to introduce a uniform salary table, which should include the minimum salary for all positions for instructors and those directly supporting education and research.

According to the trade union, wages must be adjusted every year to the average income level of the national economy or the minimum wage/guaranteed minimum wage.
