Scottish teachers have been told to reject an “insulting pay offer” as the country’s largest teaching union opens a ballot on industrial action.
A five per cent pay offer from local authority body Cosla was rejected by the Educational Institute of Scotland’s (EIS) executive committee last week.
The union is demanding a 10 per cent pay increase and a consultative ballot has been launched to determine whether teachers want to take strike action over the “wholly unacceptable” offer.
