A ROLLING programme of strike action will take place in schools across the country in the coming weeks, UNISON has announced.
Lilian Macer, UNISON’s Scottish secretary, said: “No one takes industrial action lightly. It’s a very difficult decision for anyone, but as much as this is about pay, it’s also about standing up for local services. "Workers are taking action because they want children to be educated in well-resourced, well-staffed schools. They want to start trying to reverse years of cuts and under-investment in the workforce and services.
Mark Ferguson, chair of UNISON Scotland’s local government committee, added: “UNISON’s local government members have voted overwhelmingly to reject this offer, which shows their resolve to fight for the fair pay they deserve.
