Today (Monday) the National Education Union is commencing a new national ballot of teacher members in England.
The dispute between Government and the National Education Union for a fully funded pay increase which stops the decline in teacher recruitment and retention remains unresolved. Therefore, the union is re-balloting teacher members working in England’s state-funded schools. Re-balloting of our members is necessary as the current ballot is only effective as a mandate for strike action during a six-month period. The legitimacy of the current ballot ends on 13 July 2023
This second ballot, opening today and closing on 28 July 2023, asks members:
Are you prepared to take part in strike action in furtherance of this dispute?
