Mine are,No they should not be striking , they enter the profession as a vocation knowing the wage scale, they do a marvellous job but I’m against all strikes as they don’t achieve anything, talking and negotiating is the only way forward and our country is in a financial mess anyway so handily out large pay increases will only make it worse
Very, very disappointed in them. When I began teaching the pay was respectable, but slid, relatively, over the years. I understand, none better, that it is infuriating and very upsetting to see your pay dwindle to the equivalent of a job that didn't demand all the training, or include all the hours of home-working (marking etc.) But I was a professional - I did...
My thoughts are that if they can't manage their life on £33k a year salary then they need classes in budgeting. Last night on TV two nurses, married, with one child moaning they can't manage? Combined income of around £66,000? come on.
I am against all strikes full stop. You know the pay and conditions, if you don't like it get another job. If we cannot rely on nurses, police, firemen etc to be there when we need them because they want more then they are in the wrong job. They get a lot more than I do as a carer.
My daughter is a qualified dental nurse Ken, she had COVID and didn’t get paid, her two cousins stayed off work up to 12 weeks ( both work for the NHS) and got full pay, perhaps looking at sick pay and top tier management, then giving the nurses a debt pay rise would be a step in ypthe right direction
As your daughter is a qualified dental nurse, Bobs, i'm sure she is an intelligent woman and no intelligent person would work under a contract that does not recognise SSP.
I’m sure she would qualify had she stayed off but she didn’t Ken, she went straight back after her test result but I’m deviating a bit here, I think if the Nurses didn’t get full pay when off sick, the numbers going sick would drop , so saving the NHS budget millions
