If teaching is such an easy job and we are so well paid for it with far too many holidays (as many people are trying to tell me) then why is it we have a very serious recruitment and retention crisis in the profession?

I’m really sick of the media referring to ‘the unions’ as if they are a separate entity to the millions of working people that they represent. ‘The unions’ are not orchestrating strikes, workers are standing up and fighting to save the services they provide.

It took me 8 years to train as a teacher. I love my job. Over the last 12 years I have lost more than 20% in my real terms pay and my job has become near to impossible due to lack of funding. I voted yes to take action in order to fight for the future of education.

Two of the most hardworking, dedicated people in the movement. They were both in talks via Teams while on holiday and were ready to attend any face to face meetings.

Union bosses missed talk to avert strikes because they were on holiday

National Education Union (NEU) joint general secretary Mary Bousted was on a cruise on the Norwegian fjords when the Government offered formal talks to pre-empt strike action.
