Good luck Wojtek. Well done to your colleagues for voting for action.
We really need a national campaign to bring him back - solidarity, love, and admiration for all that you are doing to expose this outrage! Wojtek - one of us! An injury to him is an injury to all!
Amazing strike ballot result at the Arbour Square branch: 92% of the membership (on an impressive 70% turnout) are prepared to go on strike to demand Wojtek's reinstatment. Solidarity in action! Let's see what the branch decides next, and how the NCC management respond. Wojtek knows that his colleagues are behind him and now have the legal mandate to bring teaching to a halt unless the management reconsiders. Solidarity!
Bring Wotjek back! Support the cause!
