THE change of leadership at NASUWT teaching union presents a “unique opportunity” to work towards creating a single education union in Britain, moved National Education Union (NEU) delegates today.
A motion calling on the NEU to redouble its efforts to seek further amalgamations with the aim of creating “one union for education workers” was passed on the last day of NEU’s annual conference.
Delegates appealed to Matt Wrack, the former Fire Brigades Union general secretary who is the recommendation of the NASUWT executive to be that union’s next leader.
