FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda “The government is well aware that teachers do not accept the changes that they propose to make to our pensions”, said Christine Blower, General Secretary of the NUT, the largest teachers’ union.
“The vast majority of teaching unions have not signed up to the latest pension proposals which still mean that teachers will have to pay much more, work much longer and get much less in retirement,” said the NUT general secretary.
“The NUT believes it is essential that the teaching profession stands united on this issue. Working and taking action together in June and November 2011 brought some concessions from Government, but they do not go far enough. We have no evidence whatsoever that teachers’ pensions are unaffordable,” added Blower.
“We will be writing to the other teaching unions to look at the ways we can work together to defend the profession and our pensions, and will be discussing how to take the campaign forward at the NUT Annual Conference this Easter,” she said.
Other unions representing workers in the National Health Service (NHS) and civil service are also proposing to stage fresh industrial action over the deal, which forces members to work for longer and pay more.
“We will continue to talk to other unions about planning further widespread co-ordinated industrial action and there is as much reason as ever for our members to vote in our consultation ballot to reject these spiteful cuts,” said Mark Serwotka, General Secretary of the Public and Commercial Services union.
“It is critical that our members have the final say on these proposals and we will meet with our key health activists before moving to a ballot”, said Christina McAnea, head of health at Unison, the biggest public sector union.
