All schools and nurseries in both North and South Lanarkshire are to be closed for three days next week as support staff go on strike in a pay dispute.
Pupils are being told not to attend “early years establishments, nurseries, primary, secondary and additional support needs schools” during the industrial action, taking place on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, September 6-8.
It comes as members of trade unions Unison and Unite – who include cleaners, janitors, classroom assistants, catering and administrative staff – take industrial action after rejecting the tabled pay offer from local government organisation Cosla.
