INDUSTRIAL ACTION – JUNE 30 2011

As you will be aware, the National Union of Teachers and the Association of Teachers and Lectures have balloted their members over strike action to defend the current teachers’ pension scheme, and as a result strike action will take place on 30 June 2011. The National Association of Headteachers has voted to ballot its members and the Association of School and College Leaders’ ruling executive has said that it “will take every action necessary to defend a fair pension entitlement” with a possible ballot for strike action being held some time after June.

Specific guidance will be given, including to reflect that 30 June is a planned non-pupil day in Norfolk, in next week’s ecourier.

However, ahead of that specific guidance, you may wish to look at the advice in 2008 (MI Sheet 58/08) as an indication of the likely requirements.
