When will teachers in Lancashire go on strike? Full list of dates
Nine out of 10 teacher members of the National Education Union voted for strike action and the union passed the 50% ballot turnout required by law. The union has declared seven days of walkouts in February and March, but it has said any individual school will only be affected by four of the days.
In Parliament, MPs voted 309 to 249, majority 60, to give the Strikes Bill a second reading. The Bill would require minimum levels of service from ambulance staff, firefighters and railway workers during industrial action, although unions and opposition MPs have condemned the proposals as unworkable.
Labour deputy leader Angela Rayner criticised the Bill as “one of the most indefensible and foolish pieces of legislation to come before this House in modern times”. She said: “I want to basically ask the Government as well to ensure that they always look to keep legislation and measures open and under review so that we can continue to uphold standards to protect the public when it comes to them going about their daily lives.”
In England, 90% of NEU teacher members who voted in the ballot backed strikes, with a turnout of 53%. Overall, 300,000 teachers and support staff in England and Wales were asked to vote in the NEU ballot. Ms Keegan has called the strike vote “deeply disappointing” and argued it “will have a damaging impact on pupils’ education and wellbeing”.
