"This is a very clear stumbling block and one the government must listen to and solve if we hope to bring this dispute to an end."Nearly four in five NAHT members said they would be prepared to vote for this, up to and including striking, if the offer was rejected."To do otherwise would be to stick two fingers up to a dedicated profession whilst at the same time turning their backs on children.
