On Monday at 8 am, the largest national teachers’ protest since 1993 began. “Trade unionists have signals about police intervention, all of which will be checked,” said Sławomir Broniarz, the president of the ZNP (Polish Teachers' Union).
Two out of three major teachers’ union, ZNP and the Forum of Trade Unions, rejected the latest government proposal aimed at averting the national protest. One union: NSZZ "Solidarność" accepted it on Sunday. However, some of its local offices rejected it and joined the protest anyway.
