NUT should take a pause for thought before strike action - council leaders
1 April 2008
Responding to the decision by the NUT to call a national teacher strike on the 24th April, Chairman of the body which represents Local Education Authorities (NEOST), Cllr Ivan Ould, said:
"The NUT should pause for thought before embarking on action that could affect many schools across the country.
"The pay award was based on an independent body’s recommendation and provides a deal that is both fair to teachers and affordable for the taxpayer.
"Councils and schools are working closely together to ensure that if the strike does happen then the minimum possible disruption will occur to children and parents."
