Letter: Teacher anger over testing
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Sir: I am surprised that a quality newspaper such as the Independent should print the outrageous accusations by anonymous Tory MPs that the teacher unions' dispute with the Government is a co-ordinated campaign with the transport unions ' 'to take on' Mr Major' (report, 9 April).
The High Court judge rejected accusations of political motivation and ruled that the NASUWT had a genuine trade dispute over workload with the Government. I suppose it is a case of when all is lost, drag in the union bogey and smear, smear, smear.
Yours faithfully,
