Senior teachers to be balloted over strike action

Tue, 09 Jul 2019

A union is to ballot senior teaching staff on the Island over strike action as part of a pay dispute.

The National Association of Head Teachers (NAHT) said its members felt "downtrodden and undervalued" after a suggested increase was not implemented.

The union said the ballot over the "unprecedented" action would be sent out next Monday.

The Department of Education, Sport and Culture (DESC) says pay scales are in line with those in the UK.
