EmailNASUWT treasurer Brian Cookson launched a sustained attack on the government over its vicious policies against the public sector and teachers.
Each point he made was echoed in more detail by delegate after delegate at the annual conference in Birmingham and they left Education Secretary Michael Gove in no doubt about their negative views of him.
Mr Cookson said: "The ripples from Westminster are being felt across the whole of the UK, and through financial starvation, the removal of the rights of workers and pay freezes and reductions together with increased pension costs those ripples are turning into the waves of a destructive tsunami."
