The NAHT headteachers’ union will ballot its members on whether they want to go on strike over pay for the first time, its leader has announced.
Paul Whiteman said his union, which has around 35,000 members mostly in primary schools, will ask its membership in England if they want to take industrial action over a pay deal worth 5 per cent to most teachers and leaders.
The NAHT’s first ballot over pay in its 125-year history will ask members if they want to take action short of strike action, and whether they will take strike action. The NAHT’s membership includes headteachers and other senior and middle leaders.
