Action on TLRs

Other news about TLRS will appear here as we get it.

STOP PAY CUTS

STAY UNITED TO STOP PAY CUTS

By now you should have seen the heads proposals for the change over to TLRs at your school.
The NUT has urged heads and governors to follow a minimum change model where no one suffers a pay cut. This is what is happening in most schools we know about - most headteachers value their staff and don't want to cut their pay.
But if that isn't happening we want to help:
The NUT is urging teachers to stay united to say no to any pay cut - and wants to ballot for action in every school where cuts are proposed.
The NUT will conduct an indicative ballot if:
• You are being refused consultation - or
• Consultation is being unreasonably delayed - or
• The heads draft proposals suggest any NUT member suffers a pay cut - or
• The Governors final proposals suggest any member suffers a pay cut.
We will go back to the head after we have the indicative result to try to persuade them to change their proposals.
If that persuasion doesn't work we will ballot formally for "sustained, discontinous" action. That means we will pay you to be on strike - and that we will call you out for action say for a day a week until the school backs down. We will also help you to submit a grievance and if possible lodge an employment tribunal appeal.
We can win and stop the pay cuts if members in schools stick together.
But the union has to know what's happening if we are to help. If there are any pay cuts threatened at you school please get in touch a.s.a.p.
