A survey
carried out by Calderdale NUT on pensions action over the last few days confirms
that, if you give a fighting lead, you will get a response from your members in
support of strike action.
Confirming the conclusion that many NUT members
reached in London in discussions around our regional action in March, it also
confirms school reps’ preference for national action over regional approaches.
Now the NUT
Executive needs to put aside its doubts and, instead of finding reasons NOT to
act, come up with a calendar of action that CAN still force this Government to
retreat further on pensions – and take the lead in going out to convince
members to take that action.
April Pension Survey of Calderdale
NUT Reps & Members
In less than 3 days, 63% of reps responded to an internet survey.
100% of reps expressed a preference for all regions being brought out
together rather than separately in turn and/or for national over regional
action.
85% of reps said they would be willing to take strike action on May 10th (with just a few primaries expressing concern about the SATs).
100% of reps said they were prepared to take national strike action in
June, with a third also supporting more than a day’s action in June – and many
supporting action in July as well.
