Jordan – Stand Up With Teachers launched a campaign yesterday to collect the voices of teachers who are demanding the Ministry of Education and the Social Security Institute to find a mechanism to ensure that employers convert the salaries of teachers to banks. A statement issued by the campaign said yesterday that despite the start of work on the new unified contract, which requires all private schools and kindergartens to transfer the salaries of their employees to the accredited banks in the country, but some employers in private schools always find Ways to circumvent laws . This month, we received a large number of complaints and inquiries from the teachers on the subject of the salary transfer of the bank” said teacher Heba Abu Ghunaim pointing that many employers forced teachers to sign resignations, and sign on papers that allow the employer not to transfer the salaries to banks, and if teachers refuse to sign those paper they get expelled”. International Labor Organization (ILO) coordinator in Jordan, Reem Aslan, stressed the importance of controlling the commitment of private schools to item No. 5 in the new unified contract, on salary transfers, however the new contact has a clause that if the second party, the teacher, wishes to waive this right, then the employer shall not be obliged to transfer, and that’s what employer started doing recently by forcing teachers to sign of these papers.
