Which teaching unions are striking in october

The unions argue they have been pushed into strike action because the DfE, and particularly Gove, have refused to properly negotiate over changes to pay, working conditions and pensions, notably the planned introduction of performance-related pay and an end to automatic incremental pay rises.
