| Description | NUWT Circular letter explaining that in protest against another Budget being introduced without provision for equal pay the NUWt are going to organise a large poster parade in London. This meant a protest parade in the streets of London carrying banners and posters calling for equal pay. The folder also contains correspondence between A. Muriel Pierotti (NUWT) and NUWT members regarding:
Lists of NUWT members who will take part in the parade and help in other ways, such as preparing the banners and posters
Confirmation from New Scotland Yard that they have no objection to the parade
'To Do' lists for organisation of the parade
Letter of thanks from A. Muriel Pierotti to NUWT members who took part in the parade and who provided posters and banners for it
Enquiring if members who did not feel they want to parade would be interested in working as stewards of the parade (quite often members felt inhibited about parading, either about inciting disapproval from other teachers or for younger members, the disapproval of parents)
Hand-drawn maps detailing the route of the parade
Instructions for those taking part in the parade
Completed forms from members stating if they will take part in the parade or provide posters and banners for it
Letters from those who took part reflecting on the parade, its success and their opinions on taking part
