Liz Truss’s government faces a potential triple whammy of industrial action this year from teachers, support staff and even school leaders in response to ministers’ pay proposals.
The ASCL school leaders’ union is consulting its members on whether to ballot for industrial action for the first time in its 16-year history.
And the NAHT leadership union has said it is listening to members to understand the “depths of their frustration”, and is not ruling “any action in or out”.
