Unison calls for an end to term time contracts
Unison has pledged to campaign for an end to school workers being employed on term time contracts.
The topic was brought up at Unison’s national delegate conference in Brighton, with the union highlighting that a large amount of school workers, the majority of which are women, are effectively paid for just 10 month’s out of the year.
Unison has said that staff need to be paid for the full year as all workers ‘live 12 months of the year’, with national secretary Jon Richards describing the move to term time contracts as ‘morally wrong’.
