Striking teachers outside St Ambrose high school today
TEACHERS at two schools where “blue water” came out of taps could resume their strike after the summer holidays if new contamination tests are not carried out.
Teachers at St Ambrose high school kicked off their strike today, joining colleagues from Buchanan high who have been on strike since last week.
Concerns have been raised at the schools, which share a joint site in Coatbridge, North Lanarkshire, after four current and former teachers developed bladder cancer.
With 170,000 children living in poverty in north-east England and teachers leaving in droves over 20 per cent real-terms pay cuts since 2010, all while private companies siphon off billions, it is time to unite and fight for education, writes MATT WRACK
