Union members at an embattled Glasgow independent school have cancelled strike days “as a gesture of goodwill” while negotiations continue over the school’s switch to a new pension plan.
According to the NASUWT, Hutchesons’ Grammar School has agreed to delay implementing controversial changes to teacher pensions until September 2024.
In response, union leaders called off strike days that were planned for this Wednesday and Thursday, June 7 and 8.
The NASUWT said that this will allow more time to change the school’s mind.
“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.
