Parents and carers across the Stirling area are juggling childcare for a second day with most schools and nurseries closed by industrial action.
Three-quarters of Scotland’s primary and secondary schools are affected by three days of strike action this week, starting yesterday , in a dispute over support workers’ pay.
The union has urged its school members to reject the latest offer and hopes the strikes will persuade COSLA and the Scottish Government that both need to do more - including sitting down for talks to end the disruption. Unison Scotland head of local government Johanna Baxter said yesterday : “COSLA finally woke up last week and made a revised offer. But, put simply, this was far too little, and way too late.
“Anything less risks prolonging a dispute no one wants, cuts to already under-pressure services and school staff continuing to quit for pastures new, where the jobs are significantly better-paid.”
