Equal Pay League
The National Union of Women Teachers (NUWT) was a trade union representing women schoolteachers in Great Britain. It originated in 1904 as a campaign for equal pay for equal work, and dissolved in 1961, when this was achieved. History Women teachers in the National Union of Teachers (NUT) first formed a Ladies' Committee in 1896. In 1900, this became a standing committee, consisting of the women members of the executive of the union, and some male executive members in an "ex officio" role. However, the committee focused on recruitment drives and, for example, in 1906 refused to sign a petition for women's suffrage. The union's journal, ''Board Teacher'', was opposed to equal pay for women teachers, but the Ladies' Committee was unwilling to campaign on the issue. This inspired a small number of members to form the Equal Pay League in April 1904. The main founders of the league were L. E. Lane, a London-based teacher who had previously campaigned to equalise payments from th ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Union Of Women Teachers
The Union of Women Teachers (UWT) was a trade union for female teachers in the United Kingdom. The National Union of Women Teachers dissolved in 1960, and women teachers thereafter could choose to join either the National Union of Teachers or the Association of Assistant Mistresses. The National Association of Schoolmasters (NAS), while not wanting to admit women as members, was concerned that both the alternative unions were hostile to them. As a result, in 1964, the NAS encouraged the formation of the Union of Women Teachers.Mike Ironside and Roger Seifert, ''Industrial Relations in Schools'', p.92 The union was always small, and by 1969 had only 2,000 members, although it grew to 6,000 by 1975.

The UWT was refused permission to join the Trades Union Congress in 1974. The Sex Discrimination Act 1975 made it unl ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

The formation of the NAMT was in response to an NUT referendum the same year, approving the principle of equal pay. This major change in salary policy had been achieved whilst many male teachers were away serving in the army during the First World War. A subsequent three-year campaign by the NAMT to further the interests of male teachers in the NUT saw its name changed in 1 ...
