Death of Steve Sinnott
It is with very deep sadness that I must inform you that Steve Sinnott, the general secretary of the National Union of Teachers died earlier today of a heart attack. This a terrible blow to all of us and for the Union as a whole, particularly at this time.
Steve had been the union's general secretary since 2004 and his death is a tragic loss to both his family and the NUT. Our thoughts go out to all of those close to him. Steve, who was married with two children, was a trade unionist from head to foot and was rightly very proud of being elected to high office by his colleagues. He always had a friendly word for everyone. He spent his professional life working tirelessly for the rights of children, education and teachers.
