:01:08. > :01:12.Norwich, says she will bring in any one she can to make sure the school
:01:12. > :01:17.stays open. The parents are said to be delighted. But there is a wider
:01:17. > :01:21.picture. The unions are against the government plan to reform public
:01:21. > :01:27.sector pensions. The coalition's see it as a battle for hearts and
:01:27. > :01:32.minds. Today the year sevens were having a

:03:03. > :03:11.checked properly. It strikes me as a babysitting service. I think they
:03:11. > :03:18.should stay open. I think they are there not to strike. The academy

:03:40. > :03:47.National Union of Teachers. disagree with the idea that it is
:03:47. > :03:52.not appropriate to strike. A lot of members of our union and other
:03:52. > :03:56.unions have voted for strike action. A huge number of public sector
:03:56. > :04:00.workers are striking across the country. When the coalition came to
:04:00. > :04:04.power they inherited a difficult financial situation and everybody
:04:04. > :04:09.knew that everybody would have to pay some price. The problem that
:04:09. > :04:15.the government has in relation to public sector pensions is that they
:04:15. > :04:21.have not made the case for saying that there is any need for our
:04:21. > :04:24.members to work longer, pay more and get less at the end of it. The
:04:24. > :04:30.teachers' pension scheme is financially viable and the
:04:30. > :04:33.government has not evaluated it. They have been asked repeatedly to
:04:33. > :04:38.evaluated. They have no evidence to show that the current scheme is not
:04:39. > :04:44.affordable. Brandon Lewis, you have not made a case and what you have
:04:44. > :04:49.the moment is perfectly viable. the moment the negotiation is
:04:49. > :04:55.ongoing. That is why it is so staggering that we have any strike
:04:55. > :04:59.action. The parents are right that it is very disruptive. The simple
:04:59. > :05:03.fact is that the new scheme that has been proposed is on the table
:05:03. > :05:12.for unions at the moment and ditties affair scheme. Low and
:05:12. > :05:16.middle earners could be better off. It seems a much fairer scheme.
:05:16. > :05:21.Rather than having a go at people like teachers, it wouldn't it be
:05:21. > :05:26.better to have a go at bankers? This is a proposal going across the
:05:26. > :05:34.whole of the public sector. We need to get public sector pensions
:05:34. > :05:39.structured properly. Lord Hutton's report is not asking people to work
:05:39. > :05:43.longer, it is a much fairer scheme for people particularly at the
:05:43. > :05:50.lower end who will no longer be paying for the high earners at the
:05:50. > :05:55.end of their career. Some of your people will be better off? Those
:05:55. > :05:59.figures are extremely misleading because you're not comparing like
:05:59. > :06:04.with like. What does not be mentioned is the fact that teachers
:06:04. > :06:08.will have to continue to work until they are 68 in order to achieve
:06:08. > :06:14.pensions at that level. That is eight years beyond the current
:06:14. > :06:18.retirement age and, quite frankly, teaching is such a stressful job, I
:06:18. > :06:23.would be very surprised if a most parents would want their children
:06:23. > :06:29.to be taught by a 68 year old teacher. Let me put that to Mr
:06:30. > :06:34.Lewis. You are being economical with the figures? The current
:06:34. > :06:40.system is that the highest earners to get these large pensions are
:06:40. > :06:46.being paid for by the taxpayer and the low earners in that profession.
:06:46. > :06:50.This is a much fairer scheme for the lower income earners. But we
:06:50. > :06:55.have to bear in mind, I think it is very unfair to say that older
:06:55. > :07:03.teachers have nothing to contribute. By have worked with teachers who
:07:03. > :07:07.are much older and have they have been a fantastic asset. Thank you.

:07:16. > :07:19.biggest dry for a generation. There is a lot at stake here. That is why
:07:19. > :07:26.it the government has been talking about how much it will cost the
:07:26. > :07:33.economy. The Prime Minister enthusiastically backed the MP for
:07:33. > :07:38.Corby who said that parents should be able to take their children to
:07:38. > :07:43.work on the strike day. There is a lot of pain to come in the public
:07:43. > :07:49.sector when it comes to spending cuts. This is the first big crunch
:07:49. > :07:54.point. Whoever public opinion is behind is very important. Will
:07:54. > :07:59.other schools follow the lead of Ormiston Academy? The government
:07:59. > :08:03.expects two-thirds of schools to be closed next Wednesday. There are a
:08:03. > :08:08.lot of academies in our region run by head teachers who have a fair
:08:08. > :08:13.degree of autonomy. If they want to bring in untrained staff for the
:08:13. > :08:17.day, they can. If most academies stay open next week, people in
:08:17. > :08:24.favour of creating more academies will use this as a positive point.
:08:24. > :08:29.Should we expect major disruption next week? It is looking that way.
:08:29. > :08:33.A lot more unions are on strike and trade union leaders are telling me
