Teachers to strike again.

And so they should have. These one off payments are a disgrace. Have the NHS voted yet as there was talk of them rejecting their offer.

Vote is on until 14th April

One off payments seem great but are essentially a future pay cut as inflation remains above where you were at but you don't get that payment every year
 
Scotland and Wales offered far more…here’s a thought- pay the same across the board, pay for it fully instead of out of current school budgets. Money in schools has never been lower but they can (without lying) say they’ve never had more- inflations means each year it’s gone down; same with the NHS.
 
Keegan still out there lying about it being funded. I might use her logic to only pay 11% of my taxes and say that I've funded the Exchequer, so leave me alone.
 
The one off payment offer has now been removed and the Education Secretary has advised the Tory sorry "Independent" Pay Review Body will set the pay award without consultation.
Their recommendation was 3% from September...2023. Members of the RCN have pretty much accused their leaders of treason and there is a strong sense the NHS offer will be rejected too.

I think everyone will be bedding in for a sustained period of strike action...

Not everyone. Pretty much all the strikes are from people whose wages are paid by the government,. Private sector workers, whose wages aren't guaranteed, are far less likely to go on strike, even though their wages are being cut in real terms in the same way as public sector workers.
 
Sounds like they need to strike.

Not even close to the same level and certainly not over the last decade they haven't.

For the public sector this isn't just about one or two years. This is the culmination of over a decade of "austerity" and broken promises. Not to mention cutting services to the bone resulting in many nurses/teachers etc on their arses due to ridiculous workloads.

Yes but on average they can apparently afford to pay 7% salary increase in 2022.

I get 2% as a government worker I wouldn’t object so much if MP’s didn’t get 2.7% that’s before all their additional benefits are factored into the equation.

Hopefully my union will ballot us again so that we can get a chance to strike as well.
