Thousands of teachers and civil servants protested in front of Sao Paulo’s city hall on Thursday, during the eighth day of strikes against a controversial social security reform project. Municipal teachers have been striking since March 8 against a social security reform project proposed by Sao Paulo prefect Joao Doria, which would entail a raise of civil servant taxes from 11 to at least 14 percent. "I have been a municipal teacher for 14 years, and this project they want to approve is absurd. We are feeling disrespected and humiliated because many will reach a very large discount in salary range," teacher Maria Eneida said. The proposal also includes the creation of a supplementary rate which could reach 19 percent. 93 percent of Sao Paulo’s municipal schools have been affected by the strike, according to local media.
