Teachers across Manchester are on strike today (Feb 1) as part of a national dispute over pay. <br /><br />Members of the National Education Union (NEU) are walking out across Greater Manchester and the rest of the country after balloting for strike action.<br /><br />The union hopes to get a fully-funded pay rise and action to reverse what it says is years of lost pay and real-terms cuts.<br /><br />We went down to the picket lines on the first day of the strikes to speak to teachers involved in the walkouts.
