139 schools across Oxfordshire have announced full or partial closure due to strikes by NUT and ATL tomorrow over pensions. Teachers' unions are taking action alongside colleagues in the UCU and PCS in what will be the first co-ordianted national action against the ConDem government.
In comparison to the 53 schools affected during pay strikes in 2008, this is a real increase, reflecting members anger about government proposals. the government plans to impose changes which will mean teachers and other public sector workers working longer, paying more and receiving less when they retire.
There will be picket lines at:
Oxford & Cherwell Valley College (Oxpens Site) from 7am
Job Centre (Worcester Street) from 7.30am
Oxofrd & Cherwell Valley College (BBL Site) from 8am
any support would be greatly appreciated.
Striking workers will gather from 12noon in Oxford Town Hall and there will be a solidarity demonstration from 12.30pm at Carfax.
From 1.30pm, workers will march to Broad Street for a public rally.
Messages of solidarity can be emailed to June30@odtuc.org.uk or texted to 07967392229.
Regular updates will be uploaded during the day.
