WHERE ARE YOU NOW?

At any time, it is important that the NUT knows which school you work in. The NUT locally also works hard to protect the interest of NUT members. At County level our funding can depend on our membership numbers. An accurate data base enables a strong case to be made for facilities for NUT officers. If you are not on the data base then we will not know you exist in our area. Please make sure you let the NUT know of your change of school. Use the form which came in THE TEACHER or contact the membership department at Hamilton House. People are still on record at schools I know they left over FOUR years ago!

Calling All Teachers

Has the NUT been able to support you with advice or intervention in your workplace? Has the NUT been able to answer your queries and concerns? Has your progression through the Upper Pay Spine been secured by NUT intervention? Have you been supported through a disciplinary procedure or with a personal grievance?

In an average year your secretary responds to hundreds of requests from individual members and deals with many whole school issues such as redundancy or workload. Of course that is what you pay your subscriptions for.

Many of you may not realise how the NUT Association system works. The secretary is a volunteer who is also a full time working teacher. Some time (approx half a day a week) is given to carry out the administrative work needed to run the Association, but the majority of the time for case work is done in the secretary’s own time – often late at night or at weekends.

HELP US

The officers need your support to carry out the work of the Association All we ask is that you try to attend at least one of the three general meetings held each year. Refreshments are provided and there is usually the opportunity to join the officers for a free meal following the meeting.
