Resolving conflict

I came across two examples of conflict resolution today.

As the NUT representative at school I held a meeting today to discuss with members the strike action we are proposing to take on April 24th in protest at the governments derisory pay offer. There were obviously concerns expressed by members as we have not taken action of this sort for 21 years. The action has come about as the result of a democratic voting procedure overseen by the electoral reform services a part of the electoral reform society.

We took the dog for a walk up to the park this evening where a large number of teenagers were hanging about. Evidently there had been a fight between a pupil from Costessey High and a pupil from Earlham which resulted in the police arrival and both boys needing medical attention from an ambulance.
