Campaigning for teachers and education
Lewisham NUT Officers meet regularly with colleagues in other teacher unions so that we can work together as much as we can – but it is the NUT that is taking the lead in campaigning for:
Fair pay for teachers
Bills, fuel and housing costs are rising but the Government is insisting on below-inflation pay awards for teachers. The NUT has led the way in opposing these pay cuts. Our lively action and demonstration in April helped make sure the issue hit the headlines. In the latest national ballot, Lewisham members gave a 69% vote in favour of strike action, showing the strength of the NUT locally. The campaign continues.
An end to excessive workload
On paper, teachers now have a right to a “work/life balance” but, in reality, our hours are as long as ever. The NUT has launched a “Good for Children, Good for Teachers” campaign to combat excessive teacher workload.
