Teachers in England are to stage a pair of one-day regional strikes next month, with a national walkout planned for later this term, the two biggest teaching unions have announced.
Teachers will strike on 1 October in all local authorities in the east of England, East and West Midlands, and Yorkshire and Humberside, the NUT and NASUWT unions said. This will be followed by a similar strike on 17 October in the north-east, south-west, London and the south-east.
The action will be followed by a further one-day strike across all of England before Christmas, the leaders of the two unions, Christine Blower and Chris Keates, announced in a joint press conference. The dispute is over a series of disagreements connected to pensions, pay and conditions, including plans for performance-related pay and the associated end of national pay levels.
