Strike to go ahead as council chiefs rebuff union
SOUTHAMPTON City Council has refused to meet workers’ leaders to prevent a school strike going ahead tomorrow, the National Education Union (NEU) claims.
Union members at Valentine Primary school in the city are set to walk out tomorrow against possible redundancies and concerns over increased workload.
The union’s leadership say that they want to avoid the strike but have claimed the council is refusing to discuss longstanding issues of underfunding with them.
