Four weeks after the teachers' strike, the teachers' union announced a conditional cessation of the strike, until Saturday evening, which falls on World Teachers' Day, to fulfill its demands or enter a new strike next Sunday.

The teachers' union decided to respond to the decision of the Supreme Administrative Court to stop the strike, where it issued a decision to stop the strike announced from the seventh of last month.

The union's decision gave the government a deadline to implement the demands of teachers until Saturday evening, and in case of failure to respond, the union will enter a new strike on Sunday morning.

Last week, the cabinet decided to grant teachers an allowance based on the grade system ranging from 24-31 dinars ($ 33-43) per month, but the decision was rejected by the teachers' union.

No government initiatives
The union threw the ball into the government court, either responding to the demands of teachers of a 50% premium to the basic salary, and an apology for the abuses suffered by teachers during a sit-in last month, or a new week of strike.

We wish our esteemed government to apologize and return to the dialogue table as a goodwill gesture and to avoid escalation. The union's decision to break the sit-in is estimated and we hope not to escalate. @OmarRazzaz # withteacher

Regarding new initiatives to solve the crisis, union spokesman Noureddine Nadim said that the government did not submit any new initiatives, but parliamentary sources confirmed to the island the existence of an initiative submitted by a number of deputies received government acceptance, and the two parties are discussing in details today and tomorrow to reach a final solution to the crisis.

Nadeem noted that there are opportunities for a solution, but the government is demanding "a new initiative and positive steps."

On the other hand, the union considered that the escalation steps taken by the Ministry of Education against striking teachers from arbitrary transfer and deductions from salaries and summons and warnings do not serve to calm the situation in preparation for a final solution to the crisis.

Initiatives did not stop throughout the strike, both from the parties to the conflict, namely the government and the teachers' union, or from the House of Representatives and national and tribal personalities, but collided with each other's opinion behind.

Unions sit
The Teachers' Union was keen to organize a protest sit-in in the yards of the professional syndicates complex in the center of Amman, expressing the professional unions behind their decision and in support of their demands.

Teachers' Union unraveled the strike in response to the decision of the Administrative Court ... Council intelligent union protected himself legally leaving a bet on the field that will not let them down.
The people are the point of separation in the position of dignity will be remembered by history.

The sit-in crowds from various professional unions sent a signal that Jordanian trade union work can collect the rights of its employees, and pay off more than the political and partisan work whose initiatives have been absent from resolving the teachers' crisis, according to observers.

Security forces and riot police surrounded the professional syndicates 'compound from abroad, as a precaution to face a teachers' march towards the fourth roundabout.

Dissolution of the Bar Council
Judicially, the West Court Court has seen acceptance to consider the lawsuit filed by parents, calling for the dissolution of the Teachers Syndicate Council. After the court heard the agents of the defendants, the case was adjourned for the next week, giving the agents the opportunity to present their arguments.

Finally, the strike has been ended and this is because our economy is the number one in the world and our national team has qualified for the World Cup and the unemployment rate has returned to zero, the public debt and the deficit, and we still have only one problem.

The lawyer of the Teachers Syndicate Bassam Freihat told Al Jazeera Net that he filed two challenges to the validity of the case, the first form of the absence of a dispute, and the second dismissed the case to invalidate the proceedings.

According to observers, the crisis of the teachers' strike has turned from professional demands to a conflict of wills between Jordan's 140,000-strong union, which sees its demands as legitimate, sympathetic and popular, and a government that refuses to meet the demands of teachers so as not to open itself a section of professional claims with bonuses. Financial has no energy to achieve.
