Green Left, the
eco-socialist group within the Green Party, sends a
message
of solidarity and support to teachers striking for union
recognition
at Stem 6. Social justice demands that workers have the
right
to organise in the workplace and recognition by employers in order
to
negotiate to protect and enhance working conditions.
We
applaud your courageous collective refusal to obey the instruction to
attend
1:1 interviews with the principal of the college, chair of
governors
and the chief executive of the sponsor.
We
note the importance of your struggle as the first to take place in a
free
school when such schools are actively undermining hard won
conditions
of service including sick pay, maternity pay and pay progression.
