Hundreds of Uruguayan workers convened by the PIT-CNT labor confederation marched on the Legislative Palace in Montevideo on Tuesday, demanding increased public funding for education and the implementation of a 1 percent surcharge tax on the country's highest-income earners. Demonstrators rallied as Parliament debated the government's Rendición de Cuentas accountability bill, which outlines national budgetary allocations and fiscal policy. Union leaders from education and banking sectors warned that precarious employment, wage stagnation, and classroom resource shortages threaten educational pathways, arguing that revenue generated from taxing top fortunes should be directed toward combating child poverty, reforming the pension system, and reducing the working day without wage cuts. #uruguay #montevideo #pitcnt #taxtherich #education #protest #breakingnews #worldnews #topnews #ctvnews #usnews #geopolitics In this Times Now World News report, we break down the this topic: Stay con
