First, theyโre not paid holidays. Second, if you add up the number of unpaid hours teachers put in during term time, youโd realise the schools breaks make up a fraction.
@ShakinthatChalk@TryThisTeaching Itโs management, trusts and local authorities that decide not teachersโฆ they just go to work when theyโre told to.

๐ฌ This is a real escalation in the dispute with agency workers now joining picket lines due to the terrible way they have been treated by Job and Talent and Birmingham council.
@BhamCityCouncil is spending a fortune it doesnโt have on a dispute that could easily be resolved by agreeing a fair deal for workers.
@unitetheunion does what it says on the trade union tin, we are totally committed to fighting for the #JobsPayConditions of all its members. Agency and directly employed workers alike in Birmingham councilโs refuse service have the unionโs complete and utter support.

Nigel Farage was asked to apologise for a Reform UK councillor describe children in care as downright evil
Keir Starmer asks him to apologise for it at #PMQs
He doesn't, instead he talks about hotels housing asylum seekers
When Reform UK show you who they are, believe them
๐ก @unitetheunion demands independent Investigation into blacklisting at @BhamCityCouncil.
This is a clear threat of anti-union blacklisting, which is illegal under UK employment law. #Birmingham#Bins
PUBLIC OWNERSHIP NOW | ๐ฐ
Todayโs half a billion-pound profits in just six monthsย for privatised water company @unitedutilities is yet more evidence that our #energy and water systems are broken.
With overseas shareholders set to receive a record dividend, this is profiteering at the expense of consumers, pure and simple.
@unitetheunion will continue its campaign to see water brought back into public ownership so profits can be reinvested in vital infrastructure instead of paying millions to management executives and lining the pockets of American hedge funds.
"I don't think anyone should take lectures from a government that presided over a decade and a half of austerity about the state of our public services"
@nowak_paul calls out Tory hypocrisy.

๐ชซ @unitetheunion report: UK energy companies making ยฃ30 billion a year in profits
#Energy bills up by 42% since 2021, whilst energy companies made ยฃ30 billion profit in just one year. The @GOVUK is turning a blind eye to these excessive profits. That must change. Everyday people cannot continue to pay. 1/2 โคต๏ธ
๐กUnite's report finds that energy companies made ยฃ30 billion profit in 2024. ยฃ500 of the average household energy bill goes on pure profit. About a third. Why is the government not looking at this? #profiteering
@KemiBadenoch So in a few years time there won't be any Doctors then as you will have made it such an unattractive profession... low pay, bad hours, high student loans to pay back, no expenses paid, high parking charges in NHS car parks... This would not be the answer...
