LONDON — Industrial action looked set to intensify Monday as Britain's largest teaching and nursing unions announced further walkouts over pay, while the government seeks to limit strikes with a controversial bill.
This week nurses in England, Wales and Northern Ireland are due to resume strike action on Wednesday and Thursday after holding their first-ever strikes in December. The Conservative government has presented MPs with a bill that would require unionised professions to provide a minimum level of service during strikes.Business minister Grant Shapps told MPs during a second reading Monday evening that the bill was needed because"we have seen in recent months a flare-up of strikes that are putting people's lives and livelihoods at risk".
"We believe the government knows there needs to be a correction on teacher pay," NEU joint general secretary Kevin Courtney said in a live-streamed meeting with members."They know that we mean business. They know that you are prepared to take action to protect your jobs, to protect your pay and costs and to protect your ability to remain in the profession," added fellow joint general secretary Mary Bousted.
