Durham teaching assistant strikes

Yeah, anyone getting told by lefties now to vote Labour should look at these mostly low-paid women in Durham and Derby who have faced massive pay cuts from Labour councils, and the devastating personal impact they have had on these workers.

I was so excited to think that there might be strikes in Durham, NC that I didn't know about!

This campaign does look awesome, though.

A heartfelt speech from one of the women to the recent NUT teachers union is worth a read but what practical solidarity are the fellow teachers actually offering?

Given their failure to defend their own working conditions I'd be surprised if teachers as part of the NUT were of any practical help.

Yeah, they did go on strike quite a few times in defence of themselves but basically achieved very little (apart from getting rid of Gove), and now with the Trade Union Act, teachers will basically never be able to take nationwide strike action again. Not completely sure about the figures but I would have thought regional action would also be very unlikely
