Universities on strike for higher pay

Staff at all three public universities in Slovenia staged a strike on 30 May, demanding a fair pay system in higher education and respectful attitude from the government, and warning about what they see as harmful changes to the Higher Education Act.

All academic activities at the universities in Ljubljana, Maribor and Koper were cancelled, including exams and final thesis defences, and libraries and other services were closed in what is a continuation of the strike for higher pay and better working conditions that the Higher Education Union began in March of 2022.
