I am seeking your
support to lead the NUT in a battle we cannot afford to lose.
Whoever forms the next Government, Ministers will continue to
criticise teachers, undermine our pay and conditions, damage children’s
education.
Teachers have solidly supported
their Union’s campaign but know it’s far from won.
Teachers experience demoralisation and worsening workload,
see colleagues driven from the profession, damaging pension and pay legislation
imposed.
Effective leadership with a winning strategy
Continued public
campaigning is essential but we will only win serious concessions when we show
we are prepared to take serious action.
We need clear campaign objectives, a calendar of ongoing
action rather than isolated ‘protest’ strikes, and to build firm workload action across
schools.
If elected General
Secretary, I pledge to:
- Encourage professional unity and united trade union action
- Strengthen workplace organisation across all sectors
- Build vibrant Local Associations
- Publicise campaign successes
- Sharpen our media messages, explaining that we are acting to defend education
- Work to reclaim education from damaging ‘reforms’
- Give members confidence to take the action needed
- Remain on a classroom teacher’s salary

PLEASE VOTE POWELL-DAVIES 1
