Over One Million Staff In Schools And Councils Join Strike Over Pay On July 10th Says GMBThere are more people on strike than union members as school and council staff, union members or not, are very angry and it’s time someone listened says GMB.GMB commented on the impact of the strikes today (July 10th) in schools and councils.Brian Strutton, GMB National Secretary for Public Services said “From ringing around GMB regions and branches our information is that over 1 million workers are on strike in councils and schools.The majority of schools are closed or partially closed. Council services are significantly affected. However a number of our members have been released to work so that we do not endanger life and limb.But the bottom line is that there are more people on strike than just union members and we’ve been overwhelmed by the support. Local council and schools staff, union members or not, are very angry and it’s time someone listened. “
