We condemn the decision of the NUT national executive not to call strike action in defense of teachers' pay this term. It is appalling that in the face of the biggest attack on our pay that there has ever been, the executive has again chosen to hesitate and delay rather than to fight.
We demand that at the next NEC meeting on the 28th February, the union calls strike action. We call on delegates to the national conference in March, to fight to commit the union to a program of strike action in order to beat Gove’s plans for our pay.

The momentum behind this call to action is exactly what we need to force the executive to stop stalling and start fighting. Seeing so many colleagues echo my frustration proves that we are no longer willing to accept these attacks on our livelihoods in silence.

My own classroom feels the weight of these pay cuts every day and I refuse to back down now. We are nearing a hundred signatures so please send this link to your colleagues right now to help us gain the momentum we need before the executive meeting.

Disgraceful. The union leadership is totally out of touch with what is happening in actual classrooms. Strike now!
