A different union could walk out from September
Teachers are set to walk out in the new school year amid a dispute over pay. Members of the National Education Union have already taken strike action in England over the current school year, but other unions had not been involved.
Overall, 88.5% of NASUWT teacher members in England who voted in the ballot backed strike action. Of those who voted, 94.3% backed action short of strikes.The union says it now plans to stage continuous action short of strikes, starting in September. Dates for strike action in the autumn term will also be considered and will be coordinated with other unions where possible, NASUWT says.
Patrick Roach, NASUWT general secretary, said: “Today our members have sent a strong message to the government and to employers that teachers demand a better deal on pay and to address excessive workload and working hours. Our members have secured the largest mandate for industrial action by the NASUWT in over a decade, exceeding the government’s anti-trade union ballot thresholds.
The industrial action also comes amid soaring inflation over the past 18 months. Education Secretary Gillian Keegan has repeatedly urged teaching unions not to take strike action amid the ongoing dispute.
