Striking teachers outside Tooting Broadway Station
- last year
Thousands of teachers across England and Wales are staging their first day of industrial action since 2016, over pay and funding cuts.
More than 100,000 National Education Union (NEU) members walked out on Wednesday February 1, along with university staff, civil servants, train and bus drivers.
Nicknamed “Walkout Wednesday”, this is the biggest day of industrial action the country has seen in a decade.
A group of teachers gathered outside Tooting Broadway station this morning, with many passers by sharing solidarity wishes.
