The Unappreciation of Teacher Remuneration in the Fight for the Municipal Public Fund: the case of Curitiba-PR
Abstract
This article aims to analyze the actions of unappreciation of Curitiba (state of Paraná, Brazil) municipal workers, with a focus on the remuneration between 2016 and April 2018. In a context of fight for the municipal public fund, the current demand for enhancement of teacher remuneration, and using the Fiscal Accountability Law (FAL) as a parameter, it was analyzed the expenditure by position, the municipal government debt, the total expenditure on personnel and its implications to the object of the work. The results showed that the political unappreciation processes of the municipality are not based on the FAL, as it was under control. The evidence leads to political decisions of public fund allocation that do not comprise the remuneration of the public worker as an investment, particularly those who are education providers.
