30,th of june strike action

[renewablejohn]

I have a mate who is a teacher (has been all his life and so is his father) he says the years he has paid are safe, but going forward he will get less for the years he has left to work, so will end up with less.

 

New teacher will get only the new rate.

 

Needs to go and have a word with his union as that was the case on the 2007 settlement. New government new rules sorry but he is in for a nasty shock hence the reason why the unions are up in arms. It might even be worth him taking early retirement before the new rules come in but he might have to be quick as every teacher over the age of 55 might suddenly have the same idea and then you wont need a strike because there will be so few experienced teachers left the system will collapse.

Another point, teachers get at least 10 weeks more holiday per year than the rest of us,

 

Dunno where you get that from Dave, 10 days more maybe. Maybe it's different between school and college but my wife gets 35 days holiday, isn't the legal amount 24 or 27 or something like that.

Surely you mean the kids get 14 weeks off per year - just coz the kids aren't in doesn't meant the staff aren't

I know a lot of teacher, they only go in occasionally when the kids aren't there.

 

I know one who has a yacht and sales for the whole of the summer holidays.

 

If they are in school over the holidays, why do they always kick up a stink when people suggest the holidays are shortened??

what about inset days whatever they are

I stand corrected then, but it's definitely different for lecturers in colleges.

 

FWIW, the summer holidays would only count as 30 days or so anyway, so nto that much really.

They are chill out days, then send all the kids home so the teachers can relax and watch movies!!!!
