Coventry Teachers Association ![NUT logo](NUT.GIF)
National
Union of Teachers
Ten
good reasons to join the N.U.T.
- We are the largest teachers'
Union both locally and nationally. We have
over 1500 members in Coventry.
- We are run by our members. All
members vote for school reps., Executive
members and officers and policy is decided at
Union meetings.
- Legal and counselling advice
is available free to all our members. Our
Regional Office has a fully trained legal
department.
- Locally the NUT has negotiated
some of the best conditions of service in the
country. This includes the cover agreement
providing protected non-contact time and one
of the longest maternity leave schemes.
- We have a staffed Union Office
where Officers are available to answer or
respond to your enquiries.
- The NUT is represented on the
Education Committee and on the Teachers'
Consultative Committee allowing us to raise
the views of teachers on educational issues.
We continue to take the lead in highlighting
the effect of current legislation and
defending the quality of education in the
city.
- Representation enables the
Union to defend and promote Conditions of
Service issues on behalf of members. We
constantly press for effective
Management/Trade Union consultation at school
level.
- We continue to raise the
issues of teacher stress and class-size and
their relationship to pupil
disruption/dissatisfaction, with the LEA and
continue to support appropriate action in
schools to protect our members.
- The NUT offers opportunities
for discount shopping via its 'Countdown
Card' scheme which is accepted at numerous
local outlets. Travel, insurance and
breakdown discounts are also available to
members.
- Additional support available
includes savings and investment advice and
the Teachers Benevolent Fund - giving
financial support in times of need.
