Durham teaching assistants, pictured during a rally in Durham City held last year. The dispute is now entering a third academic year. Picture: STUART BOULTON
DURHAM County Council absolutely disgust me with their actions in approving a revised ‘final’ pay offer for teaching assistants (Echo, Sept 21).
How can they afford to bail out Durham County Cricket Club yet give the TAs such a pathetic pay deal?
