Asking for accountability is now "berating". True story
some folk never miss an opportunity to berate the public service
The real fun will start when they tell (ask?) teachers to work through the summer to catch up on missed time. I'd get the popcorn in for that one!
That's laudable Paddy but I believe you would be in a tiny minority.What fun? I'd be only to happy to row in. The fun would be trying to get homework done with the long, fine summer evenings beckoning both parent and child.
I don't think working over the summer would work anyway. Kids get tired and by the time September would come, they'd be knackered at the thought of 10 further school months ahead of them.
I don't see teachers not stepping up to the plate if push comes to shove. In the national interest and all that.
If I have to teach over the summer ... fine ... grand... no problem.
That's incoherentI'm sure the bona fida of your original post is swamped with accountability, pass the vomit bucket.
Just to be clear, I'm not a public service basher. Can't afford to be; Mrs Boomer being a retired teacher and all! But she'd be the first to confirm that some of her former colleagues were, ahem, shall we say, lead swingers of the highest order. While others regularly went above and beyond.lovely, folk that berate the public service and dress it up in accountability, nice folk.
Not unique to the teaching profession of course, or even unique to the public sector.
I think that after the 2% pay increase payable on the 1st October next the Unions representing Public Sector workers will be conscious of the societal and economic changes caused by this unprecedented crisis and will keep their powder dry until such time as the State can afford further across the board increases .I am not saying that you don't have a point. And if the future, the Government decide to a benchmarking exercise, then I don't want to hear any trade union come and say that the Public Sector doesn't enjoy a job security that the private can only dream of. HOWEVER, do I want to see thousands of public sector or private sector workers unemployed at the moment. No is the simple answer. Yes, there are tough budget consequences for this but it is the same with every country. Stop paying a load of public sector workers might make you feel better for some odd reason but at the moment, I couldn't really care less about the cost of having a few public sector workers unable to work but still getting paid.
Brilliant! So after they get a pay they won't look for a pay rise.I think that after the 2% pay increase payable on the 1st October next the Unions representing Public Sector workers will be conscious of the societal and economic changes caused by this unprecedented crisis and will keep their powder dry until such time as the State can afford further across the board increases .
Indeed, so why do it?Not much point in destroying the massive goodwill currently being generated by public sector workers particularly front line workers who really have placed themselves in danger.
