Left-winger set to lead major teaching union, sparking fears of more walkouts

Hardcore left-winger to take the helm

A hardcore left-winger, Matt Wrack, 62, is poised to lead a major teaching union, the NASUWT, raising concerns about potential increased walkouts in schools. Wrack, who lacks an education background, is best known for his 20-year leadership of the Fire Brigades Union, which saw significant strike action during his tenure.

Fears of more teacher strikes

With Wrack endorsed as the preferred candidate by the NASUWT executive, worries are mounting about the possibility of heightened teacher strikes under his leadership. Wrack has been vocal about his leftist beliefs, emphasizing his commitment to anti-racism and anti-fascism throughout his career.

Concerns about education reputation

Some critics, including former Tory minister and teacher Jonathan Gullis, have expressed dismay over the potential shift towards a more left-leaning leadership in teaching unions. Gullis warned that such a change could have negative implications for the reputation of teachers and disrupt the progress made in delivering quality education.

Pupils at risk of further disruption

Amidst these developments, concerns have been raised about the impact on students, with fears that additional disruptions caused by potential walkouts could compromise the learning environment and overall educational experience for pupils.
