Jersey’s two teaching unions – the NASUWT and the NUT – are currently balloting their members and are due to hold a joint meeting at Highlands on Monday to discuss the dispute. And the Unite union is due to ballot hundreds of its members in the coming weeks.
The move comes months after the States Employment Board abandoned talks and imposed a three-year deal of a one-off payment for last year, a one-off payment and one per cent rise this year and a four per cent increase next year, dependant on workers accepting changes to terms and conditions.
