Teachers will strike next year if they don't get a proper pay rise, union bosses warn
"From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging."
"Matt Wrack, general secretary of the National Association of Schoolmasters and Union of Women Teachers (NASUWT), told The Independent that talks of strikes were inevitable at the union's conference next April unless there were improvements in pay and conditions. He argued cash-strapped schools were caught in a vicious cycle because teacher pay rises had to come out of existing school budgets, which were already stretched."
The Independent reports on a wide range of issues—from reproductive rights and climate change to Big Tech—while soliciting donations to fund on-the-ground journalism that remains freely accessible. The outlet produces investigations and documentaries, highlights American women fighting for reproductive rights, and rejects paywalls so reporting is available to all and supported by those who can afford it. Union leaders warn teachers could follow striking resident doctors next year unless Labour increases pay and addresses school funding shortfalls. NASUWT says pay rises taken from already stretched school budgets create a vicious cycle, and NAHT warns teachers may no longer tolerate current pressures, risking industrial action.
