Potentially putting the 'cat among the pigeons' Local Councils have made an offer to a range of lowest paid council #workers that works out at (according to the FT) 'an increase of 9.42 % this year & 22% over the two years since April 2021 for the lowest paid, with a 2023 uplift of 3.88%for top earners'.

The long experiment to reduce #education costs by transferring tasks to #TeachingAssistants is clearly coming apart as more & more TAs in the #CostOfLivingCrises give up jobs they love, as they can be paid more at a #supermarket, leaving special needs pupils marooned, the remaining #teachers more over stretched & schools facing a #workforce challenge they do not have the budgets to solve.

Yet another case of treating staff as a cost that needs to be reduced, not a resource to be invested in!

Editorial: A strike by UC academic workers would tarnish the prestigious university system https://www.latimes.com/opinion/story/2022-11-09/la-ed-potential-strike-by-academic-workers-tarnishes-prestigious-university-system ”That’s when the workers,including #TeachingAssistants, #tutors, #PostdoctoralScholars & #AcademicEmployees,are prepared to #strike,which means #students would have to rely solely on professors for grades or help.It’s an implosion that should have been averted long before now”

Is there a #teachingcommunity here ? Would love to join #teachers #teachingassistants #learning
