NUT ballot result is good news

NUT ballot result is good news for teachers across the UK.

The NUT and The NASUWT will now go forward together to defend education, pensions, pay and conditions against the Coalition Government attacks.

Commenting on the announcement of the NUT’s ballot result, Chris Keates, General Secretary of the NASUWT, the largest teachers union, said:

“Congratulations to the NUT on a positive ballot result.

“This result is the reflection of two years of sustained assault from the Government which has been deeply damaging to teacher morale, as well as to recruitment and retention.

“On Monday the NASUWT will be setting out jointly with the NUT the next steps to defend teachers from attacks on their pay, pensions, workload, working conditions and jobs.”
