00:00Union leaders say support staff in more than 30 London schools feel undervalued, as around 1,000 GMB members prepare
00:08for strike action over pay.
00:10They say staff should be treated equally with teachers who receive higher inner London weighting, warning the pay gap can
00:18exceed £1,000 a year.
00:20Councils in Merton and Greenwich say they recognise concerns but warn disruption to pupils and families could continue if the
00:29dispute is not resolved.
00:30Talks are ongoing between unions and councils, with officials urging further discussions to avoid disruption in classrooms across affected schools
00:39during the coming days, while negotiations continue on pay differences in the capital.
