Free school teachers strike against NUT recognition U-turn
Teachers at a London free school faced down intimidation from bosses to launch a two-day strike
Teachers at a London free school faced down intimidation from bosses yesterday to launch a two-day strike over recognition of the National Union of Teachers (NUT).
One of a dozen on the picket line outside the Stem6 school in Islington held a sign reading: "What a shameful way to treat teachers."
The action was called on Monday evening after principal John O'Shea reneged on an agreement to recognise the NUT.
