A second teaching union in Scotland has warned its members could take more strike action if the long-running pay dispute is not resolved.
Children are again missing lessons as many schools around the country are closed on Wednesday for the second day in a row as members of the NASUWT and Educational Institute of Scotland (EIS) unions walked out in the latest national strike action.
It follows national strike action involving several unions in January and late last year.
The EIS, which also staged 16 days of rolling strike action from mid-January into early February and three days of “targeted” walkouts last week, has announced a new 20-day wave of rolling strikes between March 13 and April 21.
The NASUWT has not announced any further strike dates, however Mike Corbett, its national official for Scotland, said there is “certainly potential” for more walkouts, though members would be “reluctant” to disrupt exam season.
