Our second strike day started early in the Vale of Glamorgan with an excellent picket line at Ysgol y Deri this morning – it was big and loud with the BBC there to talk to members. There was a real show of solidarity with support staff and teachers striking and standing together, we all know that funding of any pay rise is crucial to save jobs.
Then we had a strike breakfast in Cosy club with reps and members of NEU Vale of Glamorgan joined by Liz McLean executive member and Kathy Steelandt from Denbighshire.
Finally we had a fantastic rally at the Senedd with many fantastic speeches – listen to mine below.
