Overtime is no longer a safety issue because it is better paid and there will be possible changes somewhere in the future.
Direct entries progression to be carefully limited by union pressure on management to ensure that they do not get ahead of the most junior current member of staff.
In other words - same old, same old.
It is the teachers turn now - the annual run up to exam time dispute season is near at hand. Never let it be said that unions will hold us to ransom just to get more money.
