Glasgow school set to face two-day strike as industrial action continues

Glasgow teachers are expected to walk out of the classroom and partake in a two-day strike over the ongoing pay dispute this February and March.

The local authority also said it understood and appreciated the concerns parents would have over the situation, which was out-with their control.A Glasgow City Council spokeswoman said: “The council appreciates the concerns that some parents will have. However the situation is beyond its control, as pay negotiations take place at a national level.”

The letter told parents and carers that if things remained the same over the next few weeks, it was likely for schools to be closed to pupils on the days that have been earmarked by teacher unions for industrial action. It saw members of the EiS, Scotland’s largest teaching union take part in a demonstration outside the council chambers on George Square, demanding a ten per cent pay rise in line with inflation which the Scottish Government claims is unaffordable.
