FORMER Fire Brigades Union (FBU) leader Matt Wrack looks likely to become the next general secretary of NASUWT.
The teaching union’s executive has named Mr Wrack, who was a thorn in the side of both Labour and Tory governments during his 20-year leadership of the FBU, as its preferred candidate to replace Dr Patrick Roach later this year.
He was a firefighter before becoming a trade union official and also served as TUC president in 2023-24.
Mr Wrack has a history of leading successful pay struggles, raising the prospect of closer working between NASUWT and the National Education Union over the government’s unfunded offer of a 2.8 per cent pay rise for teachers this year.
A union spokesperson said its executive had “endorsed the nomination of Matt Wrack as its candidate for election to the position of NASUWT general secretary.
“In accordance with the rules of the union, all NASUWT local associations are now entitled to nominate candidates for the position of general secretary and submit nominations by April 19.”
