Teachers vote to strike, inspectors may do the same.

This article reports on the decision of members of the National Union of Teachers (NUT) in Great Britain in favor of a strike over pay. The strike will take place on April 24, 2008. The purpose of the strike is to push for an increase in the proposed pay rise for fiscal 2008. According to Steve Sinnott, general secretary of NUT, they are calling on the government to ensure that salaries should be kept in line with inflation and that there is recognition of the continuing workload pressures on teachers.
