I have been in contact with Nick Harvey my MP and another NN is meeting with her MP on Saturday, we have also been in the North Devon Journal the last 2 weeks.....but alas today I recieved the letter from DCC saying that they have now made a decision to cut our pay!!!! Did they listen to us in the consultation process????....I think not!
We stand to lose 33% this say DCC will bring us inline with other DCC workers who work 37 hrs a week all year (ie fulltime). We are now classed as part time and so will be paid pro rata.....and we are now to be called EARLY YEARS ASSISTANTS and not Nursery nurses....I feel totally unvalued and feel DCC have taken away our professionalism. How they think we can all work feeling like this beats me.
Where do we go from here??
