Teachers have been told to reject an “insulting pay offer” as Scotland’s largest teaching union opens a ballot on industrial action.
A 5% pay offer from local authority body Cosla was rejected by the Educational Institute of Scotland’s (EIS) executive committee last week.
A consultative ballot has now been launched to determine whether teachers want to take strike action over the “wholly unacceptable” offer.
Teachers will have until September 16 to vote in the online ballot.
If teachers decide to walk out of the classroom, they will be the latest in a series of public sector workers taking industrial action over pay.
