Teachers to strike?

[squirtyflower]

I just don't believe that figure is accurate. The info I've found from the ONS is that the average wage for a male in the UK is about 27K. The average wage for a teacher is about 30K.

he's right
The starting salary for a teacher is about £21000, so he would start below the national average and be so for a number of years

That number would be 5.

So for the next 30 years he will be earning well over. The average pay for teachers across the uk is closer to 34K. But this isn't the point. The point is the pension scheme is untenable and disproportionate and that is what the government is trying to redress.

Funnily enough the teachers in the UK are on substantially less than mainland Europe (as in similar economies)

Not according to the stats I was looking at 10 minutes ago. Globally they rank 3rd behind USA and Germany.

Read an article two months ago that put them substantially below others, some something is not right

I was wrong! Second.
http://www.worldsalaries.org/teacher.shtml No idea how accurate that is but I'm sure it's less biased than the latest NUT flyer.

I don't get access to NUT flyers
Perhaps you'd like to send me the latest?

"The deductions are representative of single-earner-married-without-child status".

Like all teachers i know then.

Those figures were from 2005. Since then the pound has plummeted against most currencies so i would expect us to be lower now.

And not forgetting that most local authority workers have had below inflation pay rises or pay freezes for the last five years<br /><br />-- Thu Jun 16, 2011 6:37 pm --<br /><br />

So a report I read two months ago, which was up-to-date, is less reliable than a six year old comparison
The only word I can use is .........laughable

Still not said who these nasty b(w)ankers are.

No you're right mate I haven't
Mainly because, in hindsight, it was a stupid knee-jerk daily mail opinion masquerading as facts, written after a long day (it was last night) and several shots of vodka and a fucked up kitchen rebuild
Having said that they've fucked my shares in HSBC, barclays, bank of Scotland and lloyds tsb which has had a significant negative effect on my pension portfolio!

If you still have a share portfolio, pm me and I'll have a scan of it free of charge. Seeing as we are practically family after that hug at the semi.
