Lecturers to join teachers' strike

Interview with NUT activist
16-04-2008 18:43
On April 24, the National Union of Teachers (NUT) will hold the first national teachers strike in more than twenty years. Angry at a below inflation pay award, NUT members across the country have voted for industrial action at a ratio of four to one.
With real terms pay cuts being the in thing in the public sector right now, civil servants in the Public and Commercial Services Union (PCS) and further education lecturers in the University and College Union (UCU) have also voted to strike on the same day.
In Nottingham there will be a march from The Forest Recreation Ground at 10am, with a rally at the Congregation Hall, Castle Gate at 11am. Speakers will include Martin Sleath (Unison - who aren't striking), Mary Pope (PCS), Helen Bowler (UCU) and Liam Conway (NUT).
To give some insight into why teachers are striking, I interviewed Liam Conway, the Joint Secretary of Notts NUT and began by asking him what his impressive sounding title actually entails.
Review of Eric Larsen’s "A Nation Gone Blind"
16-04-2008 17:38
"For the same reasons [that America's literary future looks grim], the social-political future is equally or more unpromising. The odds in favor of the United States remaining a free country are insufficient to encourage a bet on the prospect. Worse, the question as to whether we’re now a free country may be a mere technicality."Note: The below article is available with integrated web links via the iNoodle.com blog at the following URL:

Major left rebellion cripples anti-democratic agenda
01-04-2008 15:45
The Labourite/Right-wing/Corporatist establishment of NUS have suffered a shock defeat at the Student bodies annual conference. The big debate of this year's event, the controversial Governance Review, has been voted down by a margin of just 20 votes, despite progressives preparing to see democracy eroded, and in some cases removed by the Union's anti-grassroots establishment.
