Teachers begin two days of strike action

NASUWT-The Teachers’ Union are taking two days of strike action in the ongoing industrial disptute over the pay of teachers.
 
Members will strike in primary schools on Tuesday and in secondary schools on Wednesday.

The NASUWT wants to see a fully-funded pay award of 12% for the academic year 2022/23. The current offer from the Scottish Government and COSLA is a real-terms pay cut and is not acceptable.
 
There has already been a decade of pay freezes and below-inflation pay awards imposed on teachers. As a result teachers in Scotland are almost £50,000 worse off as a result of pay not keeping pace with inflation.
