Scotland's largest teaching union has announced two more strike days are planned for January in a dispute over pay. On top of next week's walkout, the Educational Institute of Scotland (EIS) trade union say there will be further strikes on January 10 and 1, "unless a fair pay offer is made".
School staff are to take part in what will be the first national strike action over pay for almost 40 years in a protest on Thursday, November 24. After a meeting on Thursday afternoon, where the union said no new offer was made, it extended that action, with two more strike dates now announced for early next year.
Staff in primary schools, special schools working with both primary and secondary age youngsters and early years teachers will all take action on January 10, the union said. Meanwhile, secondary school teachers and those in secondary only special schools could now strike the following day.
