Merlin Primary School in Lewisham

The Union has just notified Lewisham Council of a one-day strike on Wednesday March 12th to begin discontinuous action at Merlin Primary School in Lewisham over a threat to cut their pay.

This is not just the pay 'cut' we have been balloting about nationally - i.e compared to inflation - this is an actual pay cut for eleven teachers who are facing the withdrawal of the additional Retention payments (of £1002 or £1971) that were won for teachers in a number of Inner London boroughs several years ago.

The mood of the staff is very determined - there is no way that they can afford a cut in their salaries.

Messages of support would be appreciated - sent to the NUT rep, Kay O'Dea at kay_odea@tiscali.co.uk
