London school uses law change to replace striking staff with agency workers

Drapers' Pyrgo primary in Romford, where top managers were paid total of 1.49m in benefits, cut salaries or hours of 10 support staff

A primary school whose top management were paid 1.49m last year has become among the first to use strike-busting legislation allowing them to hire agency workers to replace striking staff.

Temps have been brought in to break a strike by 10 support staff at Drapers' Pyrgo primary in Romford, east London , who are protesting against cuts to their wages and working hours.
