THREE cheers for chorlton

TWENTY teachers picketed Chorlton High School in Greater Manchester on a second day of strike action in the ongoing pay dispute. Members in the North West, Northern and Yorkshire and Humber regions took industrial action on 28 February.

Passing cars beeped their horns in support as members lined up to protest against the Government’s continuing refusal to give teachers and support staff a fully funded, above-inflation pay rise. School rep Christopher Harper, a geography teacher, said: “We’ve got a better turnout than the first strike and the atmosphere has been great. After this we’re having a brew and some cake and then we’re off to the march.”
