TEACHERS will today have to let their head teachers know whether they will go out on strike this Thursday - their first national strike over pay in 22 years.
A rally has already been organised outside Southampton's Civic Centre at 1pm on Thursday when striking teachers will demonstrate against their below inflation pay offer.
Members of the National Union of Teachers - which has around 6,000 members across the county - have voted for the one-day walkout.
The strike is in protest at the government's announcement of a 2.45 per cent pay rise this year, followed by 2.3 per cent in 2009 and 2010.
