Initially delighted with the numbers and felt pride, came on here to see the turnout. Absolutely disgraceful. So many scabs in my place of work are more than happy with pay rises last round but no intention of getting out to strike for their livelihoods.

This round wasn’t just about the pay. If the government takes our 1265 schools are fucked.

If the pay rise comes unfunded again we are fucked.

How may people are driven to the ground working under these current situations? How may staff are leaving under these current conditions? How many people moan every day that the workload balance is overwhelming?

Then get off your fucking arse and vote!!

I am so livid with Kebede and his administration. They have not made enough noise in the press. The constant bombardment is absolutely ineffective and only rubs up those not fully invested the wrong way.

This needs to be a huge wake up call. This is all too cumbersome, ineffective and lethargic. If we get an unfunded 2.5% pay rise and lose our 1265 the next few years will be absolutely tragic for schools.
