Teachers in mass walkout
Date published: 28 June 2013
Dozens of schools across Rochdale were closed yesterday as teachers walked out over pay, pensions and conditions.
Pupils had a day off as members of the two largest teaching unions, the NUT and the NASUWT, held a one-day strike.
Over 60 per cent of the borough’s schools are thought to have have closed or partially closed - forcing parents to find alternative childcare.
Further strikes are expected after the summer holidays, followed by a national one-day strike in England and Wales before Christmas.
