Vote for Education

White text on a purplish background - this is on a sticker stuck to the front of the button

The NUT in the center of this button stands for National Union of Teachers, which is a trade union, founded in 1870, for school teachers in the United Kingdom and the largest teachers’ union in Europe. The NUT mounts many different campaigns concerning education issues and working conditions for union members. Some of the NUT’s current policies are: fair pay for teachers, work-life balance for teachers, against academies, abolition of National Curriculum Tests, and one union for all teachers. This specific campaign button was most likely distributed in anticipation of an upcoming election in which voters would be presented with educational issues.
