Really pleased to see Motion 49 Building Professional Unity passed at the NEU conference 2022.

Throughout the COVID pandemic education unions repeatedly showed working together got results.

“We produced this leaflet.  It was a struggle to get it, with reluctance from some to go further than just working together. It was passed unanimously by the Executive. Now the official line of the Union is, ‘We invite all those who work in education to come together to propose joint working and to discuss lasting professional unity’.”
