Teachers facing ‘dystopian’ working conditions need new deal on pay – union

His comments came ahead of the union’s annual conference in Harrogate in Yorkshire over Easter.

The NASUWT union has been consulting its members in recent weeks to gauge whether they would be interested in taking industrial action on pay, workload, working hours and wellbeing.
