Teachers in Geneva will be striking on May 13th in response to a change in their working hours.
The canton wants to change the rules regarding how much work is done by teachers outside the classroom. It says that will allow a better definition of what constitutes working time.

The Education Minister, Anne Hiltpold, says there will be no increase in working hours.
