That makes shocking reading Andy but I am not in the least bit surprised, which is even more shocking!  The Unions have been allowed to become far too powerful and with this Labour shower-in-power they're backing a winner every time. 

Now the teachers have piped up again despite their bumper pay increase last September

"Teachers have threatened to strike over pay despite being handed a bumper increase by the Government in September last year.

Delegates of the NASUWT teaching union have warned the Government that any pay reward which is not “fully funded” will be rejected, as they voted to “step up” their campaigning at a conference in Liverpool.

The union is attempting to secure real-terms payaward for teachers next academic year and has called on the union’s committee to “to reject any pay award that is not fully funded and to move immediately to ballot members for industrial action.” This comes after the National Education Union (NEU), threatened to launch a ballot on strike action if the Government did not improve its pay offer to teaches which it branded “unacceptable”.

The move threatens to place additional stress on Chancellor Rachel Reeves’bottom line and has the potential to embarrass the Government for its decision to award teachers with a pay rise just over six months ago."

Expect more strikes to follow ...
