On this day, 8 May 1978, education workers in Peru launched their first “great strike” against the military dictatorship of Francisco Morales Bermúdez. Workers in the education union SUTEP organised struggle committees around the country to coordinate the dispute. Despite repression from the military, with support from mothers, fathers and students, the workers held out for 81 days.
They returned to work after winning numerous concessions including a pay increase, 20,000 additional teachers, reinstatement of dismissed workers and bonuses for class preparation and marking. https://www.facebook.com/workingclasshistory/photos/a.296224173896073/1420763804775432/?type=3
