NUT members in sixth form colleges have accepted the 2.5% pay deal offered by the employers. On a 25% turnout members voted by 72.5% to 27.5% to accept. There is no real surprise here as the Union was in effect recommending the deal and offering no alternative. An earlier post on this blog explained that initially NUT leaders recommended acceptance without going through the Executive. That was withdrawn on the orders of the acceptence but the ballot was run without any recommendation.
Congratulations are due to Phillippe Harari and a few others who organised a campaign and produced material for a No vote and, I think, got a respectable level of support for that in very difficult circumstances.
