School leaders’ union the NAHT has today confirmed its members will take industrial action beginning Tuesday next week (September 3) - unless the government agrees to attend talks.
The NAHT, which has members in leadership posts in every one of the island’s primary schools and in one of the five secondary schools, has given notification of action short of a strike in a dispute over pay.
Earlier this month, 95 per cent of NAHT members indicated that they were prepared to take industrial action short of strike.
Some 85 per cent of members indicated that they were prepared to take strike action. The turn-out was 71.9 per cent.

Max Kelly, president of NAHT’s Isle of Man branch, said: ’School leaders on the Isle of Man deserve a fair deal for the vital work they do.
’We are keen to avoid action, and the door remains open to further talks. We await an offer from the DESC to meet with them.’
