NASUWT withdraws further strike action at Hutchesons' Grammar

Following further negotiations with employers, the NASUWT-The Teachers’ Union has agreed to withdraw the two days of strike action planned for tomorrow (Wednesday) and Thursday at Hutchesons’ Grammar School in Glasgow over teachers’ pensions and fire and rehire.

The employer has made a proposal to delay for a year plans to compulsorily transfer all teachers from the Scottish Teachers’ Pension Scheme (STPS) to the schools’ alternative defined contribution scheme.

The NASUWT’s formal trade dispute with Hutchesons’ will remain in place for now and the Union has not accepted the employers’ suggested compulsory implementation date for all teachers to move to the defined contribution scheme on 1 September 2024.

However, the delay allows for further negotiations in the new academic year, and in order to facilitate further talks the NASUWT has agreed to withdraw the action planned for this week as a gesture of goodwill.
