Thousands of Mongolian teachers have threatened to call a nationwide strike next week over the salary. Teachers are demanding to raise their monthly salary to MNT 1.6 million. Teachers are planning to strike on Thursday (21st of September) and Tuesday (26th of September), if their demands are not met.

The Mongolian Union of Teachers will appeal to the Court of Arbitration over the pay rise.

Mongolian doctors have joined the teachers in demanding a salary increase. The Mongolian Health Workers’ Union has just handed over a petition signed by 20 thousand doctors demanding a salary increase to parliament, the cabinet, the Ministry of Labour and Social Welfare, the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Health. The doctors are demanding a salary increase of 50 percent in the 2018 state budget.

MP N.Nomtoibayar has said that the government cannot increase salaries until 2019.
