"Current strike action is about pay. But the main reason teachers quit isn't pay; it is workload. Therefore, teachers shouldn't go on strike."
In this episode, I explain how this argument rests on the faulty assumption that pay and workload are separate issues:
- Introduction
- Fewer hands make heavier work
- Perception of workload
- Funded pay rises
- Behaviour
- Toxic work environments
- Summary
- Union tactics
- NEU statement (https://neu.org.uk/press-releases/education-unions-and-government-enter-talks)
