It’s not the union, it’s YOUR UNION!
The unions strength has and always will be the membership. The more people that are involved the louder our voice is and the more effective we can be at driving change. Look at what we achieved together over funding! What would our schools look like if we stood together like this on every issue?
You just need the enthusiasm to help your colleagues and to care about the issues facing the profession. We’ll support you with everything else.
These are held once every half term. We meet in Wilberforce House Learning Centre, 23-25 High St, Hull, HU1 1NQ.
Whether you are new to teaching, as old as the furniture, or anywhere in between please come along and say hello! It’s a great chance to meet other education workers from all over the city , discuss local and national issues, and have a say in the work your district will undertake during the year.
Invites, agenda and supporting documents are sent out through our actionnetwork e-mail service so please make sure you have opted in to e-mail communication at myNEU.
Our district secretaries provide the majority of the day to day support and advice you’d expect from the NEU. If you need advice or support with a school based matter, please get in touch. Our local officers provide a voice for the different areas of education we collectively represent. They bring their own experience and knowledge to the specific posts they hold and are the people to contact if you’d like to get more involved with the collective campaigns and action we take throughout the year.
