The NUT Executive decided yesterday that the ballot for action on pay this term would call for ‘discontinuous’ strike action. There was a proposal from the officers that it would call for one day and that any further action would require a fresh ballot.
There was universal acceptance that it was likely to require more than one day of action to shift the government and that our members would see that immediately. In the end an amendment proposing that the ballot give the Union flexibility to call additional action was carried.
As ever the urgent business now is to build support for the action and ensure a good turnout and an overwhelming Yes vote.
