Our fight for decent pay for Teaching Assistants continues! UNISON members at Richard Cobden and Primrose Hill schools have been out on strike this week in their campaign to be fairly graded and paid for the work that they do.
As you can see from the photo, Teaching Assistants are nearly all women workers. As an employer, Camden says that they want to close the gender pay gap – so how about paying these women properly!
Despite the heat, they have had visitors bringing solidarity to their picket lines (although we’ve been pleased that they are in the shade at both schools!). We have also had donations to their strike fund to help with any hardship payments – why not do a collection on your team for them and send it with a solidarity message? If you contact unison@camden.gov.uk we will pass all messages on. Any collections or solidarity donations can be paid into:
