From Brent National Education Union
NEU members at Woodfield School, run by Compass Learning Partnership- a special school catering for children and young people with complex needs and autism- are still trying to save the jobs of 47 highly experienced and skilled teaching assistants. The importance of these staff was highlighted when a pupil absconded from the school, unsupervised, on a strike day. Striking workers intervened to try to protect the pupil.
Staff have been supported by Brent Council, a number of parents and school transport staff, local union groups, MP Barry Gardiner and the Green Party. It seems that everyone in the community except the Trust itself can see the importance of this campaign.
Lucy Cox, Joint District Secretary stated today on the picket line:
Fire and Rehire will soon be illegal by law- this shows how desperate the Trust is to cover up their misuse of public money
Strikers continue their campaign on the picket line TOMORROW Wednesday 17th June 7.30-9.30 at NW9 7LY and OUTSIDE THE DEPARTMENT FOR EDUCATION, Great Smith Street, Westminster 12 NOON TOMORROW
