NUT Conference Opens With Standing Ovation for Strike Vote

The 2011 conference of the National Union of Teachers has opened with an address from Dr. Mary Bousted, General Secretary of the ATL. Dr Bousted received a standing ovation when she announced that the ATL executive had endorsed their conference decision to ballot for strike action over pensions. She accused the Prime Minister of putting ideology before reason and warned them to "think on" if they thought they could stand up to hundreds of thousands of education workers and other public sector workers.
