@gmb.org.ukThe £500m handed to teachers from school support staff pensions could have: 🏫 Given every teaching assistant £1000 🎨 Boosted school support worker pay by £600 School support staff are badly paid and undervalued - and rightly furious at the decision from government.

@gmb.org.ukBREAKING 🚨: 100% of Barnsley nursery workers back move to strike vote over pension threat 💪💪 Outsourced company Limetree wants to slash their pensions and remove death in service payment 🙅
@gmb.org.ukIf there’s a surplus in school support staff’s pension scheme - it should go to them. Not used to boost teacher’s pay. School support staff are the lowest paid education workers. Why should their pension scheme be misused this way? Our letter to the Education Secretary 👇
