As teachers go on strike again this week, this graph tells the story of how pay has declined relative to inflation. Since 2009, teachers’ pay has risen by just 22%, while the price of goods and services (RPI inflation) has soared by 62%. #SaveOurSchools
My summary of Building A Second Brain by @fortelabs, in a structure inspired by @francis_miller. #BASB#SecondBrain I've written a slightly fuller review on Linkedin: https://t.co/qLwR2PnhTL
MP pay rise by £2200 is a bloody slap in the face. They knew what we would think & feel about it but doing it anyway.
So inflation is OK with MP pay rise but disastrous for Nurses, Teachers, Rail workers etc to get pay rise?
They. Are. Shameless.
British. Voters. Are. Fools.
