City of Sunderland Teachers’ Association 212 Follow us on twitter @sunderlandnut www.sunderlandnut.org Over one million set to strike on July 10 th can now be a real show of strength by unions representing over one million key staff all of whom are suffering at the hands of this government. The NUT has called the strike because substantive issues of concern have still not been properly addressed by the government in a series of talks. Through these talks we have won some concessions on the implementation of PRP and the government has promised a review of “accountability and workload”. The government has also promised to look at the implications of teachers working until the age of 68. However, these concessions are still nowhere near enough to improve teachers’ working lives. We have made gains from previous strikes Our action won an increase in the Government's offer on pensions - worth much more in every year of retirement than the amount lost in strike pay. Our action stopped the STRB worsening term times, and working hours and stopped them removing some protections on conditions of service Our action forced the government to produce the figures from their workload survey and to recognise that workload is an issue that needs to be addressed UNISON, GMB, UNITE, PCS and FBU join with NUT Durham Miners’ Gala Saturday July 12 th 2014 FREE REFRESHMENT!!

Stand Up for EducationHundreds of MPs have been lobbied in Parliament or in their constituency and they are beginning to listen.Houghton and Sunderland South MP, Bridget Phillipson, listened to constituents’ concerns who lobbied Parliament on June 10th.
