The high cost of living forces thousands of temporary teachers from the South or Central Italy to give up their job in the North: this is what emerges from some numbers released in recent hours by the school unions. For Anief it is paradoxical and asks to immediately provide an allowance for off-site teachers, tax discounts on rent and transport.
In fact, thousands of people are giving up their job placement in the North “and for many of them the decision seems like a mockery if you consider that they have been waiting for professional stabilization for several years”, underline the unions which provide some numbers: 300 teachers have given up in Tuscany out of 2,000 job placements, 383 empty positions in Friuli Venezia Giulia out of 1,097 authorised, 562 appointed in Liguria out of 1,407 job placements in permanent positions, plus thousands of professorships discovered in Lombardy, especially in primary schools. «The renunciations of permanent contracts of these hours – comments the president of Anief, Marcello Pacifico – demonstrate that it is necessary to introduce a specific allowance for those who work away from home, as already happens in the private sector. The majority of teachers are commuters and come from the South. For the high rents, the implementing rules of the Housing Plan and changes are needed to allow the tax relief provided for those who work in the mountains, as well as tax exemptions. for transport costs. As an independent union we asked for it at the table with Aran for the contractual renewal”, concludes the president.
