Teachers across Swansea vote for industrial action

Members of NASUWT – The Teachers’ Union across Swansea have voted overwhelmingly to take industrial action over adverse employer practices, threats to job security and the failure of Swansea Council to comply with existing collective agreements.
 
In the ballot 92% of members voted to support strike action and 96% voted to support action short of strike, based on a turnout of 59%.
 
NASUWT General Secretary Dr Patrick Roach said:
 
“Our members in Swansea have taken an important and courageous step by voting for industrial action.
 
“They have made clear that their employer cannot bully, threaten and undermine teachers and expect to get away with it.
