Members of the teachers’ union NASUWT in Swansea have won an important victory over Swansea Council, following strike action to defend a sacked member.
General Secretary Patrick Roach commented: “NASUWT members in Swansea came together to send Swansea Council a simple message: we will not tolerate unsafe or insecure working conditions. Members should be proud that their action has forced Swansea Council to retreat from their proposed breach of existing collective agreements and teachers’ working practices”.
As reported previously in the Socialist, Swansea Socialist Party members and Swansea Trades Council have fully backed the NASUWT action, which was recognised and appreciated by their local, Welsh and national officials.
