Tens of thousands of pupils are out of the classroom on Wednesday in Glasgow, Inverclyde, Renfrewshire and East Renfrewshire.
School support staff are taking strike action in four areas of Scotland, with further walkouts planned over the coming weeks
Unison has now served notice of a strike in Stirling, Clackmannanshire, Dundee, Angus, and Perth and Kinross on Wednesday November 15, a week after a walkout already planned in South Lanarkshire, Dumfries and Galloway, Edinburgh and Fife on November 8. “We’re hoping that they take on board our concerns and the fact that we’re taking industrial action and try and resolve the dispute.“If imposition happens then I’m pretty sure and confident there’ll be an escalation, our members’ resolve is quite strong and they want a settlement that means something to them in this cost-of-living crisis.
A large proportion of schools are shut, however some secondary schools remain open for pupils in S4-6 preparing for exams. “I say to parents, stay with us because if we win this dispute it will be an improvement to everybody’s lives and the children in the longer term.”
