New industrial action campaign at schools and colleges in England

The NASUWT is instructing members to take part in a programme of action short of strike action following ballots for industrial action last term.

The action is part of the Union’s campaign to secure real terms improvements to pay and bring downward pressure on workload and working hours.

The NASUWT National Action Committee is initially instructing members in schools and colleges to limit their working time by working to rule from today.

These include instructing members to refuse to undertake extracurricular activities, midday supervision, working during lunch breaks, being directed to work on weekends or Bank Holidays, not doing other tasks during PPA time and refusing to take part in mock inspections.
