The National Education Union has demanded an “inflation-plus” pay rise for all teachers, threatening strike action as new figures show prices soaring 9.1 per cent.
The teaching union wrote to education secretary Nadhim Zahawi today, warning it will urge its members to support a ballot on industrial action unless he takes “sufficient action”.
They say all teachers deserve an “undifferentiated inflation-plus” pay rise. If not, NEU would hold an indicative ballot in the autumn term, before a potential formal ballot on strike action.
