Union leaders share stage to tout merger plan

Article Abstract:

Paul Mackney, general secretary of Natfhe, and Sally Hunt, general secretary of fellow teacher's union the Association of University Teachers, are to share a stage for the first time at Natfhe's conference in Blackpool, UK, as part of efforts to push forward the merger of the two unions. Under the planned merger, the new super-union, which would have a 100,000-strong membership, would have two distinct, financial independent wings, one dealing with further education and one with higher education.

Protests fail to halt plans for merger

Article Abstract:

Delegates at the annual conference of lecturers' union Natfhe voted overwhelmingly in favour of the union's merger with the Association of University Teachers. All that remains for the merger to go ahead is a ballot of the members of both unions in autumn 2005. The merger would create an higher education super-union with 115,000 members.
