Raiding school support staff pensions to fund teacher's pay is a disgraceful move. Slashing teaching assistants, catering staff, and other workers pension contributions to pay for a £500m teacher payrise isn't acceptable We are taking our members' concerns straight to ministers

The one thing an NEU rep never skips, is speaking to members , daily. walking the shop floor as it used to be called keeps everyone together and stops members feeling like they are on their own.

In Britain, we pay huge amounts of money to lease our trains from foreign-owned private companies. These privateers have taken £2.9 billion out of our railway in the last five years alone. That's why I'm supporting ASLEF's campaign to Own Our Trains.

We need to own our trains:
Better trains
Better deal
Cheaper tickets

Private rolling stock companies have taken
£2.9bn out of the railway in profits and dividends in the last five years

We need publicly owned rolling stock:
Flexibility for the nationalised network
Create vital manufacturing jobs
Save taxpayers money

Local government unions have rejected the 2026 pay offer and are demanding meaningful pay negotiations in a letter to employers signed by all three unions - UNISON, Unite and GMB. UNISON are balloting members for strike action from 9 July.

Letter to the Employers’ Side Secretary, Naomi Cooke, 28 May:
Dear Naomi

The NJC Trade Union Side are writing further in response to your letter of 24March 2026, making a full and final offer of a 3.3% pay increase from 1 April.

All three unions firmly reject this pay offer. Our members remain dismayed and angered at the offer, which fails to make up ground on the loss of the real value of their pay over the last 16 years, and is far below what they need and deserve.

We believe that the most recent financial settlement offers scope for a better offer.

Moreover, we wish to reiterate our disappointment at the National Employers’continual refusal to engage in meaningful pay negotiations.

Given our unions’ rejection of the offer, we urge you to engage in meaningful negotiations on the2026/27 pay award as a matter of urgency.

Yours sincerely,
Kevin Brandstatter GMB
Clare Keogh UNITE
Mike Short UNISON
Trade Union Side Secretaries

#OTD in 2020, Rockford Peaches pitcher Mary Pratt died at age 101. One of the first members of the Peaches, the team at the heart of the movie "A League of Their Own." A southpaw, she used her famous "controlled slingshot" to pitch a no-hitter in June 1944. I ❤️ #baseball ⚾️

This side-by-side composition celebrates the life of Mary "Prattie" Pratt (1918–2020), a trailblazing pitcher for the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League (AAGPBL). On the left, a vintage black-and-white portrait shows a young Pratt in her 1940s playing days. She beams with a joyful, spirited expression, wearing her official short-sleeved tunic uniform with a prominent circular team patch on the chest and a dark, belted waist. Her dark hair is styled in the era's signature soft waves, pinned neatly back. To the right, a vibrant, modern color photograph captures an older Pratt in her home, brimming with the same athletic energy. She wears a blue long-sleeved polo shirt and is mid-motion, tossing a baseball into the air with her right hand. Her eyes are bright and focused on the ball, her face alive with a playful smile. The background is a dense, nostalgic gallery of her life's work, featuring framed team photos, memorabilia, and baseball caps that line the walls of her room. The overall composition creates a bridge between her historic achievement—including a 21-win season and a no-hitter in 1944—and her lifelong devotion to the sport. The mood is one of enduring passion and resilience, honoring her significance as one of the original members of the Rockford Peaches and a lifelong advocate for women in sports.
