Teachers at Italian High School Strike Over Six-Fold Pay Gap

Teachers at a private Italian high school in Turkey have gone on strike. They are protesting a large pay gap and unfair working conditions compared to their Italian colleagues. The Turkish teachers say they are paid six times less than the Italian teachers working at the same school. They also report having a much heavier teaching load. "This is not just about salary. It is a struggle for dignity and respect," the striking teachers said. They are demanding an end to this discrimination. The strike highlights a two-tier system within the prestigious school, where nationality appears to determine pay and workload.
