UK Teachers Ready to Strike over Pensions


The National Union of Teachers (NUT) and the Association of Teachers and Lecturers (ATL) have voted to strike over pensions cuts, according to the Teacher Solidarity blog. The two unions, which cover the majority of teachers in England and Wales, will go on strike at the end of June over increased pension contributions and proposals to delay the retirement age to 68.

Teachers from NUT are also opposing the increasing privatization of schools and the excessive teacher workloads.
