At the start of the year we were routinely and unlawfully being asked to cover in breach of rarely cover regulations, this was resolved after the  action committee agreed to a ballot for sustained strike action. This resulted in an over 90% vote. 

Threatened redundancies of our members have also been prevented. NUT membership here has almost doubled at the school as a result!  As we enter the first phase of our BSF programme, and the Balfour Beatty portacabins go up within 20 feet of our classrooms, it is reassuring to know that the union is there.
