Teachers to be asked to support strike action

The NEU said it would announce a timetable for a formal ballot and potential strike dates in the coming week.

Joint general secretaries Dr Mary Bousted and Kevin Courtney said the results were "a clear statement from teachers that they cannot go on like this". "The highest pay awards for teachers in a generation" have been confirmed with 8.9% for new teachers and 5% for experienced teachers, it said, adding that the average salary for teachers in November 2021 was £42,360.

Training days allways on a friday for them - they get away with far too much - just plain old lazy

What a shower of lazy people, not only did they worm their way out of work during covid, closed schools at every turn, but still got full pay and all their holidays but are going on strike?!?!

another woke union

Will not notice if teachers are on strike

I never realised how poorly I was paid until these folk complained they were poorly paid; but over twice my salary; but still not enough.

Unions done well with postal workers, 6000 job losses....

For a group of people that get a third of the year off, they've got a nerve.

How do they conclude that the average teacher salary is £42k+? Top of UPS is about that. They must be lumping in middle and senior leaders’ salary amongst that

Just hope all our truck drivers don't walk out at once over pay .country would be !ucked.

The pay offer is unfunded. Meaning it would come from existing budgets. Leading to bigger classes and generally more disadvantage to the students. Until the gov funds any pay offer no talks are serious.
