Devon nursery nurses pay cut - 27-05-09 14:40

In an economic crisis,why is it that it is always expected to pay?
If there is a disparity with school staff paid termly,why not recognise that these workers aren't working for "pin money" but need to feed their kids,pay bills and mortgages all year round.This pay rip off nearly always affects women workers.It is the government who go on about equality - can their own legislation be used against them?
What a joke to cut our pay when we're constantly being lectured about being professional,doing more EYFS paperwork etc etc
Unison members in Devon might want to emulate Brighton's teaching assistants.A couple of years ago they won a popular strike over the issue of termly/weekly pay.One of their arguements was the growth in resposibility of their jobs over the last decade.
Also,remember the Unison members in Scottish nurseries who fought a hard strike a few years ago that was popular and won increased pay.
When MPs have been caught feathering their nests with our taxes,we are in a good position to ask for our share.I think our profession is a bit more popular than MPs!!
