The trade union, which staged two strikes earlier this year before suspending activities after Prime Minister Miro Cerar resigned in March, expects to resume talks where they were left off in spring.
Addressing reporters after Thursday's session of the SVIZ strike committee, its head Jelka Velički said the union was not willing to negotiate below what had already been agreed with the previous government.
Specifying, SVIZ secretary general Branimir Štrukelj said they had agreed on a two-bracket pay rise for all teaching staff, plus promoting form teachers by one bracket up and extending career promotion by one bracket.
The union also secured holiday allowance of EUR 1,050 gross for those on minimum wage or below. This is EUR 200 more than now.
For junior academic staff at universities the union demanded a rise by three wage brackets, but the previous government agreed to two.
Štrukelj said the teachers were not asking for privileges, but they would not let their work be devalued. Until a deal is reached, the government will have no peace at school classrooms, kindergartens and universities, he said.
The union agrees with Public Administration Minister Rudi Medved that talks on strike demands could be wrapped up fast, which Velički said meant by the end of November.
If an agreement is initialled before 4 December, the strike would be put off and eventually called off once the collective agreements are changed.
Otherwise, they will go ahead with the strike on 4, 5, and 6 December, and they would repeat industrial actions until the demands are met.
