AS teachers today vote on strike action following the weekend’s march through town, Chief Minister Terry Le Sueur has again vowed to stand firm over planned cuts.
On Saturday, an estimated 400 workers took part in a rally, organised by Jersey’s biggest teaching union, the NASUWT, and the NUT, to demonstrate their anger over their pay and conditions dispute.
Teachers will also head to the ballot box today to vote on whether to take strike action or not over Senator Le Sueur’s cuts.
The Senator maintained that he was prepared to continue discussions with teachers, but with limits to the pay on offer.
He has reiterated that there is a pay deal on the table for teachers offering a four per cent rise over two years. However, they would get no backdated pay rise for last year.
