Lithuanian Teachers’ Union Seeks 10% Increase in Salary Calculation Coefficients

The Lithuanian Education Employees’ Trade Union announced on 6 November that it may organise a national strike from 16 November if negotiations over teachers’ pay fail. Its demand is a 10% increase in the coefficients used to calculate basic salaries; no total wage-bill cost has been confirmed. The dispute highlights workforce-retention and compensation challenges in the education sector. HPC can support HR strategy, salary benchmarking and employee-engagement assessments.
