Scientists urged government to close secondary schools - but were blocked by ministers inews.co.uk/news/politics/…

❄️Frost ❄️ on the ground out here in East Yorkshire today. Teachers are going to struggle in the cold with their windows open. Remember, the minimum temperature is 16 🌡️. Lots of schools will be doing all they can to keep classrooms warm, but they'll need more funding soon!

Some trusts in our area now allowing some vulnerable staff to work from home this lockdown, as well as their extremely vulnerable colleagues. This is excellent and ensures those staff who are most worried and at risk stay safe through this second wave.

Great interview from one of our young teachers.

HUGE THANK YOU to @eastridingnut who donated £500 to support our tribunal against Kaplan International Languages. Such generosity truly captures the spirit of the #TradeUnion movement. Can your #union branch help in the fight against precarity in #ELT? DM for a template motion #KaplanExperience

Brilliant news to have a NWYP sitting on the NEC. Congrats Steve!

Fill in your surveys, and encourage members in your school to do the same!

9 more days of strike action announced as Pocklington School still refuse to talk to National Education Union and NASUWT who represent the majority of staff. Using #fireandrehire to force staff to sign new contracts is abhorrent, and has no place in education, or this country! @ProtectPockPens

Solidarity to members at Pocklington School! @ProtectPockPens

The number of teachers and support staff voting in our pay ballot just keeps increasing! Members are desperate to show the government how angry they are! Schools need proper funding, educators need a pay rise #payup #teachersdeservebetter

All education workers deserve a pay rise #payup #TeachersDeserveBetter

Time for a better offer! #nodeal #fundeducation #saveourschools

Picket of absurdity this morning, to represent how absurd the government are being in their approach to negotiating of school funding and teacher pay. More pickets across the county show that members are resolved to fight to save education and secure funding for schools.

Some great sessions lined up from a range of speakers, including Anna, Leanne and Steve Scott NEU of the East Riding NEU, as well as talks on supply issues, health and safety, international solidarity and SEND from expert speakers. All set to be a great weekend! #Educationfunding
