Thousands of pupils across Scotland miss school as teachers strike
The union also confirmed that following this week's strikes, members would begin a programme of ongoing action, including a refusal to cover for absent colleagues and attendance at only one meeting per week outside pupil sessions.
"Talk is cheap but actions matter and they are tired of being taken for granted and expected to work harder and harder for less and less money."There was a picket line at Smithycroft Secondary School in Glasgow on Wednesday morning "The latest offer was quickly rejected by the teacher unions and was deliberately divisive and inadequate. This apparent show of contempt to teachers by this offer has hardened the resolve of members and forced the SSTA to take the strongest form of action".
"The request for a 10% increase for all teachers - even the highest paid - is not affordable within the Scottish government's fixed budget. The Scottish government has made it clear that a bigger pay rise would mean tougher cuts and savings elsewhere.
