THE National Union of Teachers (NUT) said yesterday that its members will pile into a massive strike planned for July 10.
The Morning Star revealed in May how the teachers union was mulling a united walkout with Unison, GMB and Unite.
Now the union’s national executive has voted to name the date for action after Education Secretary Michael Gove failed to negotiate over pay and pension changes.
General secretary Christine Blower said: “Talks are still only about the implementation of government policies, not about the fundamental issues we believe to be detrimental to education and the profession.
“For teachers, performance-related pay, working until 68 for a full pension and heavy workload for 60 hours a week, is unsustainable.”
More than two million education and local government workers could join the unprecedented action if Unison, GMB and Unite members also back the strike in ongoing ballots.
