Retired Teachers: June salaries are charged with no increase

The 160,000 retired national teachers will receive their June salary in the coming days without any increase, at the same values ​​they have loaded since March. In that month they received an increase of 9.38%, and if there is no adjustment, according to the Special Didactic Regime, they must wait until September to receive the next raise.

The CTERA asked that, like last year, due to very high inflation, an advance be granted and that from now on the increases were quarterly. It is that unlike the general regime, retired teachers have a special system, with half-yearly increases, in the months of March and September, linked to the salaries of the assets that contribute to ANSeS taking the solar semesters.

This was stated by Jorge Molina, secretary for social security affairs of CTERA Clarione which, due to very high inflation, as happened last year, asked to collect in June an increase on behalf of that of September or for the difference perceived in the first half of the year by pensioners of the general regime (29.12% ) and 9.38% they received in March. Which produces 18%.

According to Molina, despite the meetings held, officials from different areas of social security They replied that the definition is in the hands of the Ministry of Economy.

The real thing is that since the Economy has not set any criteria to follow, ANSES sends the June liquidation to the banks, which provides for half the bonus, without any adjustment on teachers’ salaries, on the same values ​​as in March.

Molina announced that next week it will hold a mobilization with the prior request that the Economy grant the June salary increase and half the bonus and that for the second semester the increases will be quarterly.

Last year, given the rise in inflation, the government did not wait for March 2022 and in December it granted a 14.61% increase on account or in advance of the subsequent increase.

Today the same delay is repeated, aggravated by rising inflation. The same criteria should apply to retired university teachers.

The problem is aggravated because retired teachers accumulate, end to end, in 4 years – between 2018 and 2021 – a loss of 17% due to the increase in prices, almost without recovering in 2020/21 the sharp decline in 2018/2019.

Without adjustments, in the first half of this year the loss is just over 15%.

To determine the increases for pensioners, the Social Secretariat calculates the six-monthly change in the salaries of active teachers with contributions to ANSES, the so-called “Average Teacher Taxable Remuneration” (RIPDOC).
