NASUWT AND NUT CONFIRM NEXT PHASE OF INDUSTRIAL ACTION - press release 5 September 2013 The two largest teacher unions, the NASUWT and the NUT, representing nine out of ten teachers, are today confirming the next phase of their jointly coordinated campaign to Protect Teachers and Defend Education. Following the continued refusal of the Secretary of State to genuinely engage with the NUT and the NASUWT to seek to resolve our trade disputes with him, plans are in place for the next stage of industrial action which will include 1st October - strike action in the Eastern, East Midlands, West Midlands, Yorkshire and Humberside regions 17th October - strike action in North East, London, South East and South West regions On the strike days teachers will be attending a series of regional rallies to demonstrate their anger, frustration and concern. This action follows the successful strike action taken in the North West of England on the 27 June in which thousands of teachers took part. In contrast to the Secretary of State, the Welsh Government has been prepared to engage in constructive talks to seek to avoid the escalation of the rolling programme of strike action in Wales. A further announcement will be made on the situation in Wales in due course. Plans are also in place for a one-day, all-out national strike before the end of the Autumn term.
