SINCE our union’s conference last year, the Morning Star has given a voice to our members on the picket line up and down the country, including teachers resisting forced academisation in Wembley and Brent last April, teachers in 32 sixth form colleges striking for fair pay in November, and teachers taking a stand against victimisation of their union rep in Sheffield in January.
Our union policy has been projected in the pages of the Morning Star on a number of occasions every month in the last year. A sweeping summary of issues covered includes: standing up to austerity, free school meals, SEND funding, supply agencies, Palestine solidarity, lower pay for black people at leadership level, school cuts, teacher shortages, support staff shortages and academies.
What other daily newspaper would print the truth about all these issues, consistently, and through the voices of our members?
