Strikes

No sympathy for Teachers striking.

Good salaries
Good starting salaries
Short days
Long holidays
One of best pension schemes in country

Inflation affects everyone including people in the private sector who either have to work harder or find another job.

And yet we’re struggling to recruit them and loads pack it quickly if they are recruited?
The ones not recruited, unlike yourself, possibly don’t know just how good it is but what about the ones who Jack it in? Softy snowflakes probably.

NOT just about pay. Ten years real term pay cuts. Top notch University Lecturers being given rolling six/twelve month contracts (zero security), payed only while engaged in Lecturing…. Not for department/uni meetings, not for additional help for individual students. NO pay for marking…

This is Lecturers sometimes way beyond Doctorate level, not kids on the back of scraping a Degree pass.
WHEN lecturers are unable to recommend to Masters students a career in Education…. Then education has MAJOR problems.

With the greatest respect if you don’t teach, live with a teacher or know one you haven’t got a clue how ridiculous your OP is.

My wife is a teacher she averages about 65 hours a week. 39 weeks multiplied by 65 hours equals 2535 hours a year. Ordinary worker 47 weeks times 40 hours equals 1880 hours a year. This does not include the work she does in the holidays. Please don't make stupid comments on things you don't know about.

This all comes from Cameron/Osbourne and austerity, supposedly to get the national debt down. It didn’t.
Public services have been sh1t on throughout the tory reign apart from MPs, who repeatedly have had inflation beating pay rises.
I’d love to see a chart with public service pay rises, MPs pay rises and inflation over this 14 year period. Sadly I wouldn’t know where to get the figures.
