NASUWT to ballot members on industrial action over pay

The NASUWT will be balloting its members for industrial action over the failure by Government and employers to guarantee teachers and headteachers a fully-funded real-terms pay award of 12%.

The NASUWT is recommending that members vote Yes to taking strike action and Yes to support action short of strike action.

The announcement comes after Ministers failed to engage in negotiations with the NASUWT, despite repeated calls to do so.

Ballot papers will be issued to members from 27 October and the ballot will close on 9 January with the result to be announced immediately.
