All five education unions will be making a major announcement about industrial action at a meeting in Telford today
The headteachers' union the NAHT’s is holding its Annual Conference at the international centre and a big press conference will be held there this afternoon.
The NAHT has today announced that it will formally ballot its members on industrial action over pay, funding, workload and wellbeing. The union’s National Executive Committee yesterday, decided to hold a formal postal ballot of all its eligible members in England.The ballot will ask one question: whether school leaders are willing to take strike action.
Paul Whiteman, NAHT general secretary, said: “Our members have been very clear: they are fed up with their continued mistreatment by government, and they want to stand up and be counted. “School leaders have suffered over a decade of pay erosion and are feeling the pinch of the cost-of-living crisis just like everyone else. But they still voted against a pay rise, knowing the damage it would do to their schools, pupils and staff.
