Morale positive as Brent teachers strike for the third day

 Teacher members of the National Education Union were on strike for the third day today and are due to strike again tomorrow.

The strike for a fully funded pay increase had led to an increase in applications to join the NEU and the mood remains determined.

Brent teachers will be travelling from the picket lines around Brent on the overground and buses to what is expected to be one of the buggest weekday demonstration of striking workers for a very long time.

BRENT NEU groups will meet a short stroll from Marble Arch at the "Animals in War" memorial in Hyde Park by 11.45am. (From Marble Arch, walk through the park parallel to Park Lane until you see the memorial- about 3 mins). They  will then join the main march in Park Lane around 12, ready to start marching at 12.30pm
