NASUWT members reject Scotland teachers' pay offer

The NASUWT-The Teachers’ Union is to reject the 5% pay offer for teachers in Scotland tabled by COSLA.

This decision follows the results of a snapshot survey of NASUWT members in which 83% of respondents said they believe the pay award should be rejected as inadequate or unacceptable.

82% said they did not believe that 5% was a fair pay offer in the current circumstances.

The decision to reject, which has been confirmed today by the Union’s National Executive, will be formally conveyed to employers at a meeting of the Scottish Negotiating Committee for Teachers (SNCT) next Tuesday.
