Discontent that will end the Tory Govt is coming

NEU will be issuing an electronic indicative ballot to its members in August with a view to mail ballot for Autumn action. Sadly, as has happened far too often in the past, the teaching voice will be fragmented across the 7 or 8 unions that represent us; I also predict the 50% requirement for returned ballots won’t be met (too many staff cowed by headteachers or simply apathetic) and we’ll be stuck with another real terms pay cut. I hope I’m wrong and we get our collective act together.

My wife’s a primary school teacher. Last time there was a one strike, she was the only one at the school to miss the day. She wouldn’t do it again.

I think they'll send in agency barristers who have done the one hour "how to be a barrister" online training or have read the Ladybird book of barristering.

Alternatively they'll redeploy dyslexic workers from Costa Coffee and Starbucks.

I think they’re baristas, not barristers.

Only 2 of us at my place. But, as I pointed out, we’re a fragmented bunch. NAHT, NEU, NASUWT etc. We’re also an increasingly young bunch who seem politically illiterate and incapable of standing up for ourselves. On verra...
