Episode Details

Ash Field Academy staff, backed by UNISON, are escalating strike action in early June and July after teaching assistant Tom Barker was suspended—claimed by the union to be retaliation for union activity. The school trust denies any link, refusing to disclose reasons for his suspension. With hundreds rallying behind them and Leicester MP Shockat Adam joining picket lines, staff say strikes are their last resort to pressure the trust into addressing staffing cuts—despite the disruption to students and families. The trust insists it’s committed to stability and open dialogue.
