Teachers, train drivers and university lecturers are among those expected to join a march through Nottingham as employees from across the city go out on strike. The workers will be walking out on Wednesday (February 1) to demand a higher pay deal from the Government.
The regional branch of the National Education Union (NEU) has previously said that "virtually every school" in Nottinghamshire will be affected in some way by strike action. The union said that pickets will be held at schools across the county on Wednesday, including at the Bluecoat Trent Academy and the Ellis Guilford School.
Striking teachers will then join workers from across Nottingham for a march through the city, starting from the Broad Marsh Bus Station at 11am and progressing to the Albert Hall, where an indoor rally will be held at 11.30am. Other striking workers on the day will include members of the Public and Commercial Services Union (PCS), who plan to hold pickets in the morning at locations including Loxley House, Nottingham City Council's HQ.
