Are teachers striking at the end of March?

[SaynotoDaisyMeadows]

I thought the NUT were balloting their members. DD's school is almost all NUT staff so I was wondering if strike action is planned.

TIA

They've already balloted members they don't have to repeat the vote at the moment there is the possibility of strike action on the 28th

They are waiting for the results of a survey before deciding whether or not to go ahead. But they don't need another ballot.

My union has settled so I could be the only one in school

It seems unlikely they will. They sent out paperwork to members a few weeks back, but they don't legally have to ask their permission as it's the same issue and hasn't been resolved.

I'm NASUWT and we're not striking. Am glad, actually. I have a lot of work to fit into this half term- can't lose a day of it!

From what I've heard, Atl have agreed to the pension change.

~Yes they have I'm in the ATL

NASUWT are meant to be doing 'action short of strike action' at present, but can't say it's made much difference in my school.

From what I've heard through the union grapevine, NUT are quite keen to go down the ASoSA path too, but they'd need to reballot.

So have ATL agreed to teachers working until they are 65 plus?

Would be useful to know as I guess that if the later retirement date is agreed people will need to look into retraining now, and possibly leaving the profession, if they don't think they will manage until 65 plus.

Or the government need to start saving for the huge sick pay bill ;-)

As of today, NASUWT have rejected all government proposals, and NUT are still considering strike action.

ATL have left the conversation.

Most teaching unions have rejected them, apart from Atl - NAHT, UCU - after consulting members.

I presume ATL consulted their members too?

Nut are striking

But in London only?

They are talking about a series of regional strikes I think but I'm not in the NUT so not sure

Not sure what will happen to my school. Mainly NUT but with a few NASUWT (including me), then a few non-union people.

Last time, head planned on opening individual classes of non-striking teachers. Not happy about it, but can't refuse or it'll become a disciplinary issue.

Sigh.
