Librarians protested in Pécs, the union hinted at radical measures

Over a hundred people protested in Pécs for better wages in cultural institutions, holding banners with various slogans highlighting their grievances. Speakers emphasized the need for fair pay and a transparent salary system, criticizing the current low wages in libraries and museums. They called for guaranteed funding for cultural salaries and a clear advancement system. The protest was part of a broader movement advocating for significant wage increases, with some workers expressing frustration over the government's proposed 10.7% raise, which they feel is insufficient. If peaceful protests do not yield results, they may resort to more radical actions.
