Following constructive talks with @iomdesc we have agreed to withdraw the two days of strike action planned for next Wednesday and Thursday (15th and 16th February) in order to enable talks to continue to resolve the current dispute over pay, workload and working practices.

[IOM NASUWT @IOMNasuwt]

Our dispute with DESC remains live and the scheduled strike action planned for 15th and 16th February remains in place.

[IOM NASUWT @IOMNasuwt]

Following further communication between us & the DESC we have suspended the planned strike action due to take place tomorrow.

[IOM NASUWT @IOMNasuwt]

A confirmed commitment to considering the suggestions we put forward on addressing members' concerns & also to further talks has been received from DESC this afternoon

Therefore, we have suspended the action as a gesture of goodwill & to enable further negotiations.

[IOM NASUWT @IOMNasuwt]

Our Deputy General Secretary Jane Peckham explains to @ManxRadio that we were ready to suspend our strike action, but disappointingly the Manx Government did not commit to considering the suggestions we put to them last week.

The Deputy General Secretary for the @NASUWT, Jane Peckham, has also travelled to the island to support those striking.

She says there are teachers on the island who are having to move into shared accommodation and find second jobs.

Some are also relying on the foodbank.

Teachers on the Isle of Man are striking due to an ongoing row over pay, workload and working practices.

Some gathered outside St Ninian's this morning.

@IOMNasuwt are calling for a multi-year fully funded pay offer after what they're calling a 'historic erosion of pay'.

Emma is taking strike action today. If you're unsure why our members are on strike let her explain.
Emma sums up what so many of our members are experiencing.

Our Deputy General Secretary Jane Peckham speaking to the press today on the picket line. Look out for reports on @BBCNWT & @GranadaReports later.

National Executive Member Anne Rycroft: "We are in this action because many of you are unable to meet your household budgetary demands. That is totally unacceptable for a graduate profession who have been teaching for many years."

[IOM NASUWT @IOMNasuwt]

"I'm blown away by the support today" our Deputy General Secretary Jane Peckham tells members, emphasising that the fact that further strikes are taking place is due to the failure of government to fully engage with us to resolve our dispute.

[IOM NASUWT @IOMNasuwt]

Solidarity for our action from trade union colleagues from Unite & Prospect.
Our fight is the fight of other working people in IOM.

[IOM NASUWT @IOMNasuwt]

Huge support again this morning for our strike action.
A full room for our member meeting. Thank you to every member who has come along this morning.

[IOM NASUWT @IOMNasuwt]

Members outside Ramsey Grammar.
Our members would not be losing pay to take further strike action if they did not have genuine anger and concern over their pay & conditions and the future implications for the education system.

Members at St Ninian's on the picket line this morning.
Our members would rather be with their pupils today but are making a stand for their right to be treated as skilled professionals with the pay & conditions to match.

[IOM NASUWT @IOMNasuwt]

Hear from this former teacher about why the profession deserves a better deal on their pay & conditions.
Powerful & eloquent. #iom #isleofman #betterdealforteachers
