October 26 - March details confirmed for Pensions Lobby

On October 26, Let’s deliver a final notice to Westminster:
HANDS OFF OUR PENSIONS OR WE STRIKE!

Join the Joint Union March and Lobby:
ASSEMBLE at midday, Victoria Gardens,Westminster, SW1;
MARCH to the Dept. of Education to hand in the mass petition.

All of the main teaching unions - ASCL, ATL, NAHT, NASUWT, NUT, UCAC and UCU are backing this joint march & lobby on Wednesday October 26. Every school is being asked to try and send at least one representative to give Government a final warning - back off or face the consequences.

The march gives us a chance to dust off the flags and banners from June 30 once more. Media coverage of the event will be a timely reminder to union members that are balloting to return their ‘YES’ vote for action as well!

SIGN THE PETITION :
Even if you can’t make it to London in half-term, make sure everyone in your school signs the mass petition. More details on: www.decentpensions.org.uk

HOLD A MEETING IN YOUR SCHOOL :
Make sure everyone has signed the petition - and also encourage all staff in NAHT, NASUWT, UNISON, UNITE and GMB to vote for strike action so that we can all be out together on November 30. Remember, NUT and ATL union members already have a legal ballot result carrying over from last term - they do NOT need to vote again.

WE CAN’T AFFORD NOT TO STRIKE :
Winning this battle will mean giving up pay when we take action - but losing it will mean pay being stolen away every single month in extra pension contributions. If we strike together, we can win together!
