Council strike, inflation and living cost
Some of the people working for the local councils in Great Britain are now on strike.
What struck me is the offer that they seem to have been given, 2.45% wage rise. Compared to inflation, probably going to be higher than 3%, this seems to be a pay cut in term of real wages. How does the people react to that?
I also have a question regarding the wages, for that of the teaching assistants: 15,530 £ a year. Is it possible to live on that?
And to those who who have experience working with teaching assistants, what sorts of labour do these positions attract? (hi TK)
