Full list of planned strikes this week as bus drivers, teachers and NHS nurses walkout⤵️
The Scottish Government has said such an increase for all teachers is not affordable within its fixed budget.
They were joined by members of the NASUWT union, the Association of Headteachers and Deputes in Scotland , and the Scottish Secondary Teachers’ Association .starting from Monday 16 January, which will see teachers strike across Scotland in a staggered fashion. EIS General Secretary Andrea Bradley said: ‘Despite their warm words over the past week, the Scottish Government and COSLA have again failed to come to the table with a new pay offer to Scotland’s teachers.’
“Teaching is a critical job and one that is uniquely and increasingly challenging. Teachers just want pay levels that reflect the years of training they have undertaken, the high level of workload involved and the skill involved in meeting the needs of all pupils.”The dates of the strike have been organised depending on the region of the school. EIS staff will stage walk outs in two local authorities each day.
