Following over a decade of austerity and cuts, along with the soaring cost of living, the NEU is demanding a fully funded, above-inflation pay rise for state support staff in schools up and down the country.

The march through central London was part of a massive week of industrial action in the UK, with educators, rail workers, hospital staff and civil servants also taking to the picket lines to demand action from the government.

The Peace & Justice Project continues to support striking workers across numerous industries and in all parts of the country, and has recently seen over 7000 people send letters to their MP using its Right To Strike tool.
