NASUWT statement on Scottish pay offer

Commenting on the latest pay offer Dr Patrick Roach, NASUWT General Secretary said: “It comes as no surprise to see this latest pay offer appearing as if from nowhere, following meetings held in the last few days which excluded the NASUWT, in order to cook up this latest proposal.
 
“This latest pay offer provides only a paltry improvement over the previous offer that was rejected by our members.
 
“No doubt employers, the Scottish Government and others will want to claim that this offer represents a significant improvement for teachers, when in fact that means another pay cut for the profession.
 
“The manipulation of future pay award dates cannot disguise the fact that this latest offer falls short of what teachers have demanded, and it is likely to be viewed as too little too late.
