NASUWT Scotland members take further strike action over pay

Members of NASUWT-The Teachers’ Union in Scotland will be taking two further days of strike action tomorrow (Tuesday) and Wednesday in its ongoing dispute with the Scottish Government and employers over teachers’ pay.
 
Tomorrow at 11am NASUWT members will be staging a lobby of employers outside COSLA’s headquarters in Edinburgh to call for a pay offer which represents a real-terms pay rise for teachers.
 
Last week NASUWT members rejected the revised pay offer of 6% with effect from April 2022 and 5.5% with effect from April 2023. With the rate of inflation remaining at almost its 40-year high point this offer still represented a real terms pay cut.
 
Alongside the strike action, NASUWT members are continuing to undertake ongoing action short of strike action. Members are refusing to cover for absent colleagues and are attending no more than one meeting per week outside pupil sessions.
