USP's student union decided to go on strike in a vote held Wednesday (15th) at the University City campus. Students joined the work stoppage that staff began on Tuesday against a bonus created only for professors. Now each academic center will decide whether to join the movement.
USP staff began a strike against the Strategic Complementary Activities Bonus, a monthly bonus of up to R$ 4,500 created only for professors. The employees consider that the measure violates equal treatment, as it excludes other university workers.
