"Prices are Western, salaries are pro-Soviet." In the end, only the teachers clearly explained the essence of life in Lithuania. The high school workers just giggle and climb through the windows like children. Doctors are killing themselves. Judges quit their jobs. Everyone else silently flees from Lithuania.
""If the state does not take care of citizens, if it does not
start to increase purchasing power, everyone will suffer today - both citizens
and businesses from which those citizens buy.
The first step, what must be done, is to basically consider raising
wages in Lithuania, because it is simply no longer possible to use Western
prices with pro-Soviet wages," said Sigitas Vaitkevičius, chairman of the
Association of Lithuanian Higher Education Unions (LAMPSS).
LAMPSS calls for salary increases for academics, lecturers, researchers
and all staff in higher education. "However, in principle, we fully
understand that the Government should not limit itself to our sector alone, in
principle, if wages do not increase in all sectors, we will not be able to
control the economic crisis," said the chairman."
