NASUWT Conference: Morgan ‘flexes muscles’ rather than engage
EDUCATION Secretary Nicky Morgan wasted her opportunity to speak to trade unionists, instead opting to “flex her muscles,” NASUWT leader Chris Keates blasted yesterday.
The union’s general secretary told the Star that Ms Morgan had thrown away the chance to “build a bridge with the profession” in her address to the union’s annual conference on Saturday.
Ms Morgan, the first Conservative minister to speak at one of the union’s conferences since 1997, was jeered, heckled and laughed at as she vainly tried to defend the government’s latest Budget and her first education white paper.
