Daphne, tread carefully in this respect, as I can assure you from 1st hand experience that, for once, MUT’s grievance as regards LSA’s is well and truly justified.

Naturally, of course, the two month total strike by the very same MUT in 1984 was “heroic” and “vital in the defence of democracy”, mhux hekk? No kids suffered. Only the Labour government of the time was being hit.
O tempora, o mores.

[Daphne – Hello again, Albert. How can you compare the two situations: in 1984, the government was trying to close down the schools, for heaven’s sake. Get a grip.]

For all their talk about teaching being a vocation, the MUT does not distinguish between a kindergarten assistant(or teacher or lecturer, for that matter) and a factory machine-operator. In theory it’s a vocation, in practice it’s just a job.
