NEU Announces Ballot over PAY and FUNDING

 

The NEU is launching an indicative ballot on 2 March on PAY and FUNDING in education.

Why are we balloting again?

•Teacher pay rise last year was double what the Tories wanted to give us – because WE took strike action

•But it wasn’t enough to meet inflation

•It wasn’t enough to reverse a decade of real-terms pay cuts

•It wasn’t enough to solve the recruitment and retention problem

•… and when the Government announced it had ‘miscalculated’ and there would be £370 million less for schools in 2024-5 than announced, they refused to make good on their mistake – AND THEN

•Told the STRB to look for a 1-2% pay rise for teachers in 2024-5 as inflation rises again

•Without an increase in EDUCATION FUNDING this will lead to teacher and support staff LOSSES across the country, further stretching a system at breaking point.

 

 

We know that TURNOUT is hugely important to a SUCCESSFUL camapaign; and that means members need to know what you're being asked to do and why - so make sure you MEET in your schools!
