Maidenhead and Windsor CLPs are working with Unison to campaign against the planned RBWM budget cuts
In October Theresa May told us that austerity was over. In November, Windsor & Maidenhead Borough Council announced they intended to find £6.8 million in "savings" over the next year.
Make no mistake; these "savings" are savage cuts, to be borne by children, people with disabilities, the elderly, and public sector workers.
They include:
Cuts to Children's Services
Cuts to care for the elderly and people with disabilities
Yet another real-terms pay cut for public sector workers in 2019/20

Government admit that teachers’ pay has been cut
by thousands of pounds a year since 2010
Government admit that teachers’ pay has been cut by thousands of pounds a year since 2010
The Government has admitted that since 2010 teachers have seen their wages cut by thousands of pounds a year in real terms. The figures, in the evidence that the Department for Education have sent to the School Teachers’ Review Body (“STRB”), the pay review body for teachers, reveal that the average salary for teachers has fallen by over £4,000.
Across the whole teaching workforce pay fell by £4,700, and for classroom teachers average salaries are down by £4,400, cuts of over 10%. The real terms pay cuts across the profession will be followed by further cuts in real terms for the majority of teachers.
Despite the STRB recommending a pay rise of 3.5% for all teachers, the Government only gave early career teachers the 3.5% rise, while more experienced teachers were given a 2% rise and those on the leadership pay scale were given only 1.5%. According to the independent Institute for Fiscal Studies this will leave around 60% of teachers receiving a below inflation pay rise, meaning their pay will fall in real terms.
- The Department for Education has admitted that teachers are over £4,000 a year worse off in real terms since 2010;
- The Department’s own evidence to the pay review body for teachers reveals the impact of the public sector pay freeze and pay cap since 2010;
- A majority of teachers will face another real terms pay cut this year.

Angela Rayner MP, Labour’s Shadow Education Secretary, said:
“Teachers are right to be angry that years of Tory pay cuts have left them thousands of pounds a year worse off, and across our schools we are seeing the result in the crisis in teacher recruitment and retention.
“Teacher recruitment targets have been missed year after year, with more teachers leaving the profession than joining. In response to this crisis, the government will give the majority of teachers another real terms pay cut.
“Labour will give teachers the support they need, with ring-fenced funding to end the public sector pay cap.”
