" It can’t be that every annual salary negotiation makes it a strain just to begin the school year," said President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner during a speech to Congress on March 1st. Yes it can.
Strikes this week delayed the start of classes in 19 of Argentina’s 24 districts, after provincial unions and governments failed to reach agreements about wage rises. Negotiations between the national government and federal unions, which are meant to set a minimum benchmark for the provinces, also foundered. With some unions demanding more than 40% hikes, the national government and Buenos Aires’s provincial government, the most influential negotiators, offered increases of just 22% and 25.5% this year respectively. The unions called the proposals "a provocation".
Tension had been expected. The teachers’ unions want salary rises above Argentina’s galloping inflation rate. Since the start of the year the government has devalued the Argentine peso by over 20%, causing inflation expectations to spike. According to Eduardo Levy Yeyati of Elypsis, a consultancy, prices are expected to jump by 32% this year. And now that the government has started publishing more realistic data, it cannot simply pretend the problem of rising prices does not exist.
The teachers’ unions have a strong hand. In December provincial police squeezed 35%- 100% pay increases out of their employers. Public-sector employees are not fearful of losing their jobs. Strikes give unions the power to cause widespread chaos.
But the government cannot afford to concede too much ground. The negotiations with the teachers will set a precedent for salary talks with other unions scheduled for later this month and April. To ensure that inflation does not continue to accelerate, the authorities need to curb real wages. Budgetary considerations also play their part. According to Economia & Regiones, a research group, if the provinces were to grant 30% raises to their 2m employees, that would double their collective fiscal deficit.
That may nonetheless be what happens. In the five jurisdictions that were able to reach accords , the teachers and the provinces agreed to increases of around 30%. That wouldn’t do much to bring down inflation, but it would at least help keep it from
skyrocketing
. And it would mean the school year can begin.
According to Paragraph 2, people went on strike because ______.
选项
A、the government refused to raise their salary
B、local unions’ demand of wage rise was not met
C、unions and schools could not reach agreements
D、the nation could not set a standard for the provinces
答案
B
解析
根据题干中的strike一词定位到第二段第一句:Strikes…after provincial unions andgovernments failed to reach agreements about wage rises.原文after之后的内容说明了爆发罢工的原因,是因为“省工会和政府未能就加薪达成一致共识”。选项[A]“政府拒绝涨薪”是错误的,原文并未提到政府拒绝,只是对数额未达成共识,故[A]可以排除。选项[B]“地方工会的加薪要求没得到满足”与原文基本一致,该项正确。选项[C]的“工会和学校未达成共识”显然是把原文的government一词偷换概念了,故错误。选项[D]“国家未能为各省设定标准”与答案来源句无关,也是错误选项。故本题答案为[B]。
