Subject: RE: BS: UK Council Strike 14th August
Keep up th action, but I fear there will not be so much impact next month, as the schools are on holiday, better to leave it until the first week of September when the impact will be greater. Good luck-your wage is poor, conditions of employment are pretty poor too.Expectations of skill in many sections of council work far exceed the level of pay for those skills. Our ETA's are almost working as qualified teachers-they deserve a much better pay deal for a start, they also don't get paid for the holidays (Though many do work for school in their own time)As the placard said "What price education, education, education? Is your child worth it?
