The unions are rather used to the fact that local authority schools, via the fact that the local authority is in most cases the employer of the staff, and in other cases (eg voluntary aided schools) the schools by and large follow local authority practice on this, all recognise the main trade unions. This is not automatically the case with Academies. But I notice from the report of my union's Executive Committee to the Annual Conference that some of the leading Christian organisations sponsoring Academies either have entered into union recognition agreements or are engaged in discussions about it. This seems a real plus to the Christian engagement in the Academies programme.Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09339499088443959192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8994073177496022401.post-72026461831511230412008-03-01T07:30:00.000+00:002008-03-01T07:30:00.000+00:00Another fabulous post..the school thing is so worr...Another fabulous post..the school thing is so worrying..Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
