NUT to take strike action
The NUT National Executive met today to consider the results of our ballot for one day strike action on pay. 75.2% of members voted in favour of action on a turnout of 32%. On the basis of this result there was no hesitation in calling for the strike to go ahead on Thursday April 24th. The vote to proceed with the strike was unanimous on the Executive.
Over the next three weeks local branches of the union will be working full-on to build the strike, maximise the turnout and organise mass rallies all over the country on the day.
There is every likelihood that the UCU FE sector and thousands of PCS members will be on strike on the same day and agree to take part in joint oublic sector rallies. If so April 24th will take the fight against New Labour's drive to keep down public sector pay on to a whole new level.
Details of the rallies around the country will be posted on this site as soon as possible
