Teachers Dispute

I managed to catch some of the well attended NUT rally in Town Hall Square here in Leicester today.

They are striking because they are being asked to pay more & work longer for less pension.

They are striking because pay restraint means that their pay is being cut in real terms.

They are striking because their jobs are being privatised.

They are striking as they don't have enough staff to do the job effectively.

They are striking because idealogical changes introduced by their Secretary of State are making it harder for them to help the people that they serve.

If this sounds familiar, then the case for a united and coordinated programme of action by ALL public sector unions is unanswerable.

Unity really is strength.
