NEU members, including support staff, to take part in mass strike on 1 February, followed by regional strikes
EnglandStrike action by members of the National Education Union will begin with a mass walkout on 1 February, to coincide with the TUC’s national “protect the right to strike” day of action, followed by six days of regional action.
The NEU, which balloted 300,000 of its members, says although it is planning seven days of strike action, any individual school will only be affected by four days. The first day of action on February 1 will affect 23,400 schools in England and Wales. As the biggest education union in the country, industrial action by NEU members is likely to cause widespread disruption to children’s education. Depending on the number of NEU members in a school, many will be forced to close because of safety requirements while those with fewer members will be able to remain open, though not to all pupils.
