A compilation of what Education Secretary Gillian Keegan has said about independent pay review bodies, has been curated by Peter Stefanovic,
It comes as pay rises for the top 10% of UK earners, including City bosses, have clearly outstripped those for the rest of the workforce and been prime drivers of recent inflation, reports The Guardian.
Strike action
With this in mind teachers in England will strike over pay again on two dates in July.
National strikes are scheduled for 5 and 7 July. Many schools are likely to fully or partially close.
The NEU is calling for negotiations with the government to start again and says strike action is a “last resort”.
Rishi Sunak, has been warned that a 6.5 per cent pay rise for teachers is the “bare minimum” that is needed, reports TES.
A union leader told Mr Sunak that any rejection of the independent pay review body’s recommendations will “simply embolden teachers to vote for further strike action”.
Education Secretary
Peter shared the video and tweeted: “This compilation of what Education Secretary Gillian Keegan has said about independent pay review bodies will cause anger & outrage amongst teachers across the country
“UK news shows need to step up & expose this latest outrageous Government CON against our public sector workers.”
