Union meets to decide on teacher strike action
The most prominent teachers union in Scotland intends to hold two days of meetings, to discuss whether or not to engage in strike activity. The strike follows the employer’s refusal to grant a 10% wage increase. Teachers would like to see their pay increase in order to match the value of their work. However, their employer claims that management is unable to give a 10% wage all at once- the best management is willing to do is to stagger the wage increase over a three-year period.
