Education Secretary Gillian Keegan on Monday ramped up the war of words with teaching leaders by saying other public unions had paused strike action but not the National Education Union.
Ms Keegan said Unite, Unison, the GMB and unions representing physiotherapists and nurses had all agreed to start intensive talks with the Government over their own pay disputes, but despite the same offer being made to teachers, the National Education Union (NEU) had not “come to the table”.
