British Headteachers back strike ballot over changes to their pensions

HEADTEACHERS threw down the gauntlet to the Tory-led coalition by backing a strike vote over pension reforms yesterday.

If industrial action gets the go-ahead, it will be the first time they have ever walked out and the move could shut thousands of schools.

All 350 delegates, bar one abstention, voted for a strike ballot at the National Association of Head Teachers’ conference – a result of 99.7%.
