A primary school whose top management were paid £1.49m last year has become among the first to use strike-busting legislation allowing them to hire agency workers to replace striking staff.
Temps have been brought in to break a strike by 10 support staff at Drapers’ Pyrgo primary in Romford, east London , who are protesting against cuts to their wages and working hours.
It is believed to be the first use in schools of a new law enacted in the final days of Boris Johnson’s administration that allows agency workers to be brought in to replace striking workers.
