Show Notes
Tom Barker, a teaching assistant at Ash Field Academy, has been suspended since October, potentially leading to a strike by support staff. The union, UNISON, accuses the school trust of retaliation for Barkers union work, while the trust insists its a separate confidential issue. With 98% of staff in UNISON, 48% support the strike, aiming to reinstate Barker and address unsafe staffing levels. The trust prioritizes pupil safety and education, but talks before Easter are crucial to avoid disruption.
