Teaching assistant and refuse collector. Council and school staff begin vote on pay strikes
Post on X from Shadow equalities minister Claire Coutinho: Bin men waking up at 4am to do manual, smelly work in all weathers is simply not the same job as being a teaching assistant. ‘Equal value’ laws which demand they are paid the same are clearly wrong and unfair.... https://x.com/ClaireCoutinho/status/2071989606724317655?s=20 UNISON response: Equal pay is about assessing jobs properly and ensuring staff are fairly paid. It's not about the views of one out of touch ex-minister. Teaching assistants do vital work and it's a shame @clairecoutinho doesn't recognise this.
Latest care sector employment figures must be wake-up call for ministers, says UNISON
