Secondary teachers in Scotland have announced plans for further strike action early next year - with union leaders insisting the move sends a "clear message that the teacher unions are not for turning" in their dispute over pay.
As the date for the latest action was announced, leaders of the STTA challenged Holyrood ministers to act on teacher pay - with the union also warning further strike days were being considered by its executive committee and could be "announced in the coming days". Union demands for a 10% increase have been dismissed as "unaffordable" by Scottish Education Secretary Shirley Anne-Somerville.
SSTA general secretary Seamus Searson added: "The strikes this week have been an outstanding success with most secondary schools either been closed or severely disrupted by the action of SSTA members. Mr Searson continued: "This pay increase should have been in teacher wage packets in April this year, but we still await payment.
