Fighting NEU

The @neunion.bsky.social leadership's "welcome" of Labour's proposal is a slap in the face - many rank and file members are rightly angered and disgusted. This is no way to inspire confidence in the ballot. Schools deserve a militant class struggle leadership!!

Vote YES in the ballot!
A YES vote will put us in a better position to confront the govt, as well as school management, by sending a signal of strength.

But the #union must not repeat the mistakes from last time. Militants and left in the #NEU must debate a NEW strategy to save our #schools!

One week back at work and the holidays seem like a distant memory! To top it all off, big visit from the suits at the trust this week.

Scrap all visits and surveillance from academy bosses as part of taking back control over our schools!

Mary Bousted given a peerage by Labour.

This says it all about why our schools didn’t get saved during the strikes! And Daniel Kebede fully backed (&backs) Kevin and Mary.

We can’t have these lot as our union leaders!

#DefendDuncan! An injury to one is an injury to all! #ShutLongleyPark until management backs down!

To all #NEU members on #strike at 6th form colleges: how will we win? Already isolated from the broader sector, a few strike days and banking on #Labour won't win. Read our leaflet for a class-struggle strategy for the strike!

The British Royal Family are a collection of the rudest, laziest, most two faced people in the UK.

Yet we are forced to give them £1.5m every day.

Abolish them, repossess all their stolen properties and land.

Get them off benefits and into work, for the first time in their lives.

Saying goodbye to the second weekend in a row.

Did someone say there’s a #recruitment and #retention crisis in schools?

Draconian behaviour policies are not the way to tackle behaviour issues. It's a social problem with social roots. Running schools like boot camps can only make it worse. All teachers should take a stand against intro of crazy behaviour policies.

Build student-teacher unity against academisation!

That’s pretty rotten.

No way that three isolated days of strike are going to #saveourcolleges. Teachers struck for more days & we still only got crumbs.

To make #Labour capitulate, the #NEU must embrace the basic principle of striking: ONE OUT, ALL OUT; SPREAD THE STRIKE! No business as usual!

This is not going to be easy: the forces are small & isolated; #Reeves is not going to budge. Here's an alternative strategy to #saveourcolleges:
1. build picket lines that noone crosses
2. mobilise all students
3. spread the strike to the sector; make it a struggle about conditions of all teachers!

The unions must mobilise and stand in defence of the #Kurdish community. Drop all charges against those arrested! The use of anti-terror laws against Kurdish activists is a threat to all those who oppose British foreign policy (like support to Israel). #london #events #starmer @neunion.bsky.social

Teacher training providers are complete parasites who charge ludicrous sums of money & demand free labour from untrained teachers in the name of "on the job experience".

Make teacher training free, with a full stipend, across all subjects! That'll recruit some #teachers.

Victory to the strike!

The struggle of 6th form college teachers must become the united struggle of all education workers! United we are stronger! To turn the union into a fighting force, one of our platforms is to organise ALL school workers into one union. An injury to one is an injury to all! @neunion.bsky.social

Academisation was brought in under Blair's #Labour and today, continues uninterrupted under #Starmer. A real fight against it will take a real struggle against the government. The #NEU must not see in Starmer's paltry pay offer to teachers a "step forward" but prepare for battle against Starmer!

Here's our way to solve the crisis:
1. massively fund schools so more staff can be hired + class sizes reduced->this will make teachers not be burnt out by their jobs;
2. put schools back under state control so academies can't leech public money.

This needs political will. @neunion.bsky.social

This is one of the clearest expressions of the rot in broken Britain. To #saveourschools & improve outcomes for youth, the #NEU must have an anti-capitalist outlook that will tackle British capitalism, the source of the problem. It must recruit and fight on these pillars, not just on pay alone.

A huge step for the fight against racism would be for the union to take a stand against #Prevent, a notoriously anti-Muslim that cripples the pro-Palestine struggle from taking off in schools! The union must defend its members against victimisation under Prevent!

Seen in The Socialist! A #strike at a #Hackney school against their #academy trust.
Solidarity with the strike!
We agree with the demand in the article that the #NEU must launch an immediate campaign to oppose #academisation! It happens to be demand #4 of our platform. @antiacademies.bsky.social

Hello teachers!
We are rank & file #teachers who want to turn the #NEU into a fighting union, one prepared to do battle against the #Labour govt. Here's our 5-point programme to build the union!
